The man jumped out of his car with a tire iron, tried to get inside. Within seconds Leo’s took over situation (man had been convicted of prior abduction).
The Onstar advisor acting quickly to get Sheriff in place to save her. For us without that technology she could have been attacked or worse.
For the last 4 years she goes to schools to give her accounts and warnings of what to do with either on board advisors or cellphones if anyone thinks they are could be in danger while driving. Not to hesitate calling even if it may be a false alarm.
She is still in contact with the officers and Onstar advisor, thankful for their help, keeping her safe

Every parents (grandparents) nightmare. Glad yours was a happy ending. Kudos to your granddaughter for educating young people as I’m sure it’s a form of therapy for her as well. Thank you for sharing
