Two other men had pulled over on the side of the road and called 911, according to Sutherland, and when first responders arrived, Cameron was able to give everyone directions to his house.
“The ambulance came, the firemen came. The firemen were really nice to me,” he said.
After Cameron’s father got the injection he needed, it was the crackers Sutherland bought earlier that first responders used to help him come-to, helping normalize blood sugar levels.
Sutherland touted Cameron’s bravery Monday, and said that while she knows she was there for him and his father, she said Cameron was also there for her; reminding her that helping students succeed doesn’t always happen in the classroom.
She expressed gratitude for re-discovering her purpose.
“There’s no doubt that God placed me where he did when he needed me,” she said.
