    This seems to be doing the rounds on Facebook but I thought I'd post it here to get the word out as it seems to be the genuine article. Mods feel free to move it if there's a more appropriate forum.

    Susan O'Connor from Kilcock has an amazing story to tell and wants to find the man who saved her life.

    She was involved in a crash on the R148 (Enfield/Kilcock Road) on Thursday 3rd October at 6.35pm. It was a drizzly night.

    The man who helped saved her life was in his late 30s or early 40s, had brown hair and was wearing a shirt and suit trousers.

    Read Susan’s incredible story here and let us know if you can help us find this man:

    My name is Susan O Connor. I live in Kilcock, co Kildare. I am 38 year old wife and mother to two grown-up daughters.

    On Thursday 3rd October 2013 at 6.35pm I was involved in a serious head-on car crash on the Kilcock/Enfield road.

    As a result my car instantly caught fire right in front of my eyes and I was trapped, unable to move with terrible pain and multiple injuries. I tried to open my door but realised it was jammed.

    I heard a voice and realised it was my cousin, Linda Connolly, who happened to be driving behind the man that crashed into me and saw it. At this stage she did not realise it was me.

    I tried to open my door but realised it was jammed.

    I called out to Linda, my voice was weak. She came over to my car with a "Man". They both climbed into the back of my burning car, I told them that my legs were broken and that I couldn't move.

    The Man looked at me and said "we have 2 minutes to get you out of this car".

    Something in me thought to start winding down the passenger seat window. The Man took over and wound it down fully. There was now room and they put an arm each under my arms and pulled me out through the back of my car.

    We got out just in time and I will never forget the intense heat on our backs from my car.

    Linda and this Man supported me for 25 minutes while we waited for the ambulance to arrive.

    Linda kept talking to me and kept me conscious: she was amazing.

    I knew I was bleeding internally as I could feel a warm fluid build up in my stomach and was in excruciating pain.

    I thought I was going to die, I was fading at this stage.

    I spent a week in Intensive Care Unit, had a life saving operation on my stomach. Also 2 further surgeries to insert plates and a IM Rod on my legs and collar bone. I spent over 4 weeks in hospital and am having ongoing treatment.

    I am currently still in a wheelchair

    On 3rd October my Life was saved by my cousin and this "Man".

    We do not have any details about this man I would really like to find out who he is and to let him know how grateful I am, I would really appreciate your help.

    Kind regards

    Susan O Connor

    If you are the man or you think you might know the man (he must have told someone when he got home that night), contact us at ray@todayfm.com or on 01 804 9082...
