10-year-old pinned beneath car in Sullivan's Island attack receives courage award
Tanner Czuar was one of two students and a teacher who were struck when a car driven by 36-year-old Justin Collin Adams plowed through Sunrise Presbyterian School and onto the sidewalk on May 1.
He ducked as the vehicle approached him, becoming pinned underneath. But it was that quick thinking that ultimately saved his life.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) visited Czuar and his family at their home on Friday and presented him with a 'Patriot Award' for his 'heroism and his bravery to be there protecting his classmates.'
Adams was taken into custody following an hours-long manhunt that involved more than 100 law enforcement personnel.
He was charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count of first-degree assault and battery. He was denied bond on the attempted murder charges during a May 2 bond hearing.
