Even under a mask, you can sense Cheryl Gallet cringing when someone calls her a hero. But it's the best way to describe Gallet's actions in the early-morning hours of Oct. 20 when she and another good Samaritan rescued a pregnant Naperville woman by pulling her from an SUV that flipped on its roof and caught fire after a multicar crash on I-355.
"When we first opened the door, all I saw was her hand hanging and just for like a half second you get that gut punch of ‘oh no.' But once we started talking, she starting moving and we were able to get her to unbuckle and get her out. So you just do what you gotta do."
Naperville resident Miranda Rosasco and Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital nurse Cheryl Gallet reunited Wednesday at the Downers Grove hospital weeks after the nurse pulled over to rescue the pregnant woman out of her flipped-over car on I-355 weeks earlier.
