A pregnant mother who pushed her kids out of the way and let herself get hit by a car instead is being honored at the Indy 500, waving the green flag to start the race.<\/p>\n

Bailey Rogers was attending the Indy 500 last year on the Fourth of July, when she did something incredibly heroic<\/a>. “Honestly don’t really know how it happened, what happened,” Rogers told WTHR. “I just saw a car coming at my kids, and I pushed them out of the way, and I got taken under the car.”<\/p>\n

Rogers, who was pregnant, was left pinned underneath the car, and though her two children were saved, she worried that her preborn child had died. “I said, I’m pretty sure my baby’s dead,” she recalled. “The next thing I remember, I woke up here.”<\/p>\n
