An Arizona teen and her younger brother have been honored for saving their father's life by stopping their speeding car after he lost consciousness while driving.
MyFoxPhoenix.com reports that 13-year-old Kylah Woody and her 11-year-old brother Michael were riding with their father when he started to fade in and out of consciousness.
