Gregory Beck was on his way to his St. Louis home in his wheelchair when tornado sirens sounded.
Beck lost both of his legs last year and is legally blind, according to CNN affiliate KMOV4. It would normally take him 25 minutes to get back home from the supermarket, and he would need to stop as many as 10 times to rest.
"Everyone kept telling me the storm is coming and you need to hurry up and get home," Beck told the station.
While other drivers honked and yelled at Beck as he tried to cross the street Tuesday and make it up the hill, 16-year-old Seth Phillips and his mother, Amber Gilleylen, stopped their car so Seth could push him the rest of the way home.
"Just the greatest people and very concerned about other people, which America needs to start doing more of," Beck said.
Gilleylen said she recorded the act of kindness to share with her mother and posted it on Facebook. She said she hopes other teens will see that it is cool to stop and help others.

AOC needs to weigh in on this...global warming and stuff
Quite possibly not. I know that a few years ago I stopped and did something dangerous to help a neighbor that didn’t know they needed help. No one said anything just like it didn’t make the news when Im sure many other Americans had done something similar that year. Just the other day I saw a national story about a guy that did the same thing. It was a real big deal, possibly because of where it happened or he was somehow special. He was “a hero”, here its just the right thing to do.
Good job Seth’s Mom, ya done good raising your boy Mam.
