  "textContent": "A special education teacher is recovering after being hit by a car in Montgomery County.\n\nHe was struck while trying to help two people who were involved in an earlier crash.\n\nThe victim, Nick Brown, spoke with FOX 5 Wednesday night.\n\nHe says he was driving on Georgia Avenue last Thursday night near the ICC when he came across a horrible crash that had just happened involving two cars.\n\nBrown stopped to help people involved in a crash. Then, another car crashed into the scene.\n\nBrown was seriously injured and left lying in a hospital bed with stitches. But he tells FOX 5 he believes his faith in God saved his life.\n\nBrown is a special education teacher with Prince George’s County Public Schools,\n\nThe _****_ married father of four young children says he stopped to help because he is trained in first aid, and the first responders and police had yet to arrive.\n\nHe says that while he was standing on the sidewalk about to call 911, a separate car crashed into the other vehicles involved in the initial accident, hitting him.\n\nMedics drove three other people to a hospital after the crash, and they all survived.\n\nBrown’s sister is thankful he’s alive and has set up a GoFundMe to help cover some of his medical bills.\n\nMeanwhile, Brown hopes to return to teaching in Prince George’s County, saying he misses the students and he’s thankful for the support.\n\nMontgomery County police are continuing to investigate the accidents.",
