Dad Leads Taxi Driver to Rescue Daughter and Strangers After Vegas Massacre

- The taxi driver who rushed a worried father to the grounds of the Route 91 Harvest Festival Sunday is speaking out. John Zerquera-Jimenez drove the worried father who got in his cab as they sped to the area of the concert shooting. The daughter, Ashley, her husband and several others crammed in the back of the cab, but the driver didn't mind. #InsideEdition
If a taxi driver did this for me, he’s part of the family now
oh yeah. hes invited to thanksgiving, christmas dinner, everything.
Oh hes on the list for kidney I'd he ever needs one that's how grateful I'd be
Who would take money in this situation really? Possibly call other drivers to get there and pick as many people as possible, the further away from the shooter the better. By the way did she called her father? To get him in danger too?
@UCruVK1i5L3hHCd-2qy0pmtg Thus putting him in danger too. I understand that she would be scared and couldn't think straight, a little tight situations.
Please make me a part of your family adopt me I am a 30 year old.... Dying to become an American 😁😁😁

The daughter and husband need more praise as well. They let complete strangers hop in with them purely to save them for whatever they could’ve been left to deal with.
“I’m a father too.” That is empathy and kindness.
Let’s be honest no amount of money can pay for a act of kindness.

Yes, as a feminist I am clearly ignoring this video of good and heroic men.
That being said, if this is just plain trolling, I genuinely hope you find something else to do. Riling people up for amusement is nasty for others and probably not great for you.
Take care.

The rest of the time such people have to face racism for being 'outsiders'.
Poor dad looks so helpless while he sits there in the passenger seat. There is nothing more stressful than the calm before the storm (ie. The ride to your kids, the waiting in the hospital etc). I've been in a similar situation, having to rush to my child who is in danger and just feeling like I can't get there fast enough. I don't wish that on anyone. That driver was awesome. So many people would have said "no, too many people or too much risk to myself"
What a legend it wasn’t his daughter at risk but he still didn’t even hesitate to go put himself at risk to help others. The world needs more men like him desperately…

It's not hard to believe his intentions were pure. I understand a lot of people these days do things for views and attention, but that man drove towards an area where there was an active gunman. He knowingly put himself in danger. That's good in my book.

the moment he said "NO, NO, NO - i'm a Father too" you see what that meaned for him. He was like "Bro when i dont help u and your daughter - whos gonna help mine if she needs someone!" so much love from one father to another!
Years later and everytime I watch this I cry. The bravery of both fathers, the kindness of letting everyone and anyone pile in, the humanity is just absolutely heart warming. They were heroes that night, and they saved more than just the people who got into the car, but also all their friends and family who would have been broken hearted if they had lost their loved ones. Absolutely incredible. 🧡

This is an amazing video. The kindness of the cab driver is next level. The dad gives a masterclass in staying calm in the face of potentially losing his daughter at any moment. Notice his voice is calm when he tells his daughter to stay calm. I was just watching clips of "gamer rage" where pathetic people lose control over losing a game and smash up their gear. It makes me wonder how those characters would cope with real world pressures like this.
"I'm a father too, I would do that for free," that is true love.
Honestly if a taxi driver did this for me I’d love him forever
And you should love him forever, I would as well. He would always be my friend. What a man should be.

Great fathers. One doing all he can to get to his daughter and save her, and one ensuring he's doing everything he can to help that dad do exactly what every dad should.
This cab driver stayed so calm and in control which undoubtedly helped everyone else in this high pressure situation. He selflessly drove toward the danger to help strangers like a true hero. He deserves an award. 5 years out I wonder what ever became of him.
His name is Zerquera-Jimenez. He even went back and saved another 5 people that night. What a selfless hero!

That cab driver should get a reward, driving to the shooting without a second thought and just telling the guy the ride is for free too.
He didnt expect anything or even want anything like he mentioned he has a kid too and he would like if someone helped him. Good people never expect anything back.
"just telling the guy the ride is for free" The most antimurican thing ever. COMMUNISM! hehehe
