A group of Arizona bank employees sprang into action to help a longtime neighborhood food vendor escape a powerful storm, pulling him and his cart inside as strong winds and hail battered the Phoenix area in a heartwarming rescue caught on video.

The incident occurred at a PNC Bank branch as severe weather swept through the Phoenix area last week, prompting employees to help a local vendor caught in the storm, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.

Video posted by an individual inside the bank shows an employee helping the vendor, identified as Hilario Cruz Cruz, pull his food cart inside as wind and hail batter the area.

The video quickly went viral online, amassing more than 1 million views on TikTok and hundreds of thousands of likes.

"With one hand, I held the door against the strong wind blowing it, and with my other hand I pulled the cart inside. The young man was doing the same on his side. If I had been anywhere else, maybe they wouldn't have been able to help me like that," Cruz Cruz said in an interview with FOX 10 Phoenix through a translator.

According to Cruz Cruz, the bank employees were longtime customers who had been buying food from his cart for years.

He believes that connection inspired them to step in.

"They said, ‘He's not going anywhere else. He stays here, and we're bringing the cart inside.’ I said, ‘It won't fit,’ but the manager said, ‘I know it will,’" he said.

Cruz Cruz, who was left drenched after the incident, said he had to navigate fallen trees and branches on his way home after the storm passed.

A week later, however, he was back selling elotes and fresh fruit along Peoria Avenue.

Cruz Cruz said business has been booming since the video went viral.

"I deeply appreciate my long-term customers. That's why they didn't leave me outside," Cruz Cruz said. "I am profoundly grateful to the bank manager and employees because, thanks to them, nothing bad happened to me."

I think I speak for everyone when I say that traffic jams are the absolute worst.

There is nothing more infuriating than coming home from work or driving to an event like a game or a concert and seeing nothing but brake lights ahead.

If you're anything like me, after the blinding rage wears off, you often wonder what caused the jam to begin with.

Usually, it's because some idiot missed his exit and decided to merge across six lanes of traffic or a college kid who's home on break was texting and driving before rear-endeding someone, but how about when a longhorn busts loose from the farm and leads the cops on a wild chase across a two-lane road?

What, you've never had that happen to you before?

It turns out several of the motorists in Putnam County, New York, were treated to a traffic jam of bovine origins when a four-year-old cow named Maggie caused a pileup when she escaped from the friendly confines of Little Cabin's Farm in nearby Carmel, NY.

The video is absolutely hysterical (mostly because I'm not the one behind the wheel) and features police cars and civilians alike trying (and failing) to wrangle the clearly agitated animal as she darts in between several stopped vehicles.

One of the civilians is even seen brandishing a tree branch to use as a whip to try and corral Maggie back onto the other side of the road.

While traffic is at a dead stop in the one lane, the oncoming lane has cars driving at full speed, and one of them even had to slam on their brakes as Maggie scampered back to the grassy shoulder.

She's lucky some Kia didn't turn her into ground beef!

According to local news affiliate WABC, Maggie was on the loose for four days before finally being brought home, giving drivers all over Putnam County a reason to breathe easier.

What's even crazier is that Maggie is also pregnant, which might explain some of her erratic behavior.

All's well that ends well, though, and it's nice to know she's back on the farm where she belongs.
