A crossing guard is being credited with helping save a kindergartner, a sixth grader and their mother from being hit by a vehicle outside a Las Vegas-area school.

Dashcam video provided by Jake Garcia captured the situation from last Wednesday morning at a school-zone crosswalk near Pinecrest Academy, where people were crossing the street.

"From a distance, we saw a car coming, but not knowing that he was speeding towards us," mother Kae'la Leon Guerrero said.
