"It just happened so quickly, I think it was all meant to happen that way," Vivar, whose mother and 3-year-old son were also in the car, told FOX10 Phoenix on Wednesday. "Something was telling me to just hold on a little bit, you know?"

The footage shows a couple pushing a stroller through a crosswalk at a red light. A Jeep then runs the light and comes barreling through the intersection, freezing the family in place. At the same time, a Chevy Cruz driven by Vivar enters the intersection and slams into the side of the Jeep just feet before it's set to strike the family.

Police arrested the Jeep’s 23-year-old driver, Ernesto Oveso, after a brief chase but a female passenger managed to evade capture.

"I don't want to label myself a hero,” Vivar told KNXV-TV. “But I just see that maybe that's just how things were supposed to be."

However, executives with used car retailer Carvana didn’t hesitate to call Vivar a hero and presented her with a 2018 Chevy Cruz to replace the one damaged in the crash.
