Two of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s dozen sons are being hailed heros after they saved a little girl’s life following a collision in Springdale, Arkansas last week. Joshua Duggar -– the 20-year-old son of TLC’s Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar — was at work in a Springdale car dealership on Jan. 28 when three vehicles rear-ended each other just outside the establishment’s doors, according to local news station 40/29 TV.
Joined by his brother John, Joshua hurried outside and found 6-year-old Maddye Plascensia in the front seat of one of the cars unconscious and not breathing. Joshua and John immediately called 911 and brought the child into their office where they began performing CPR.

“I thought, ‘Oh, fender bender. No big deal,’” humble new dad Joshua told 40/29 on Wednesday. “It happens quite often here actually. [Then] I realized there was a little girl. The little girl was unconscious and not breathing,” he explained. “We realized there was something blocking her airway. She had been eating chicken nuggets when the accident happened and it caused a blockage of the airway.”
Paramedics arrived on scene, and along with the help of the Duggar brothers, were able to revive Maddye, who remains hospitalized in critical condition at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock.
Way to go, Duggars! Best wishes to Little Maddye. May she make a full recovery…..
