It comes after another extraordinary incident on an Arkansas road saw a man dressed as Spider-Man hailed as a hero after he rushed to help a wheelchair user struggling to cross a busy six-lane highway. Christopher Hellenthal, 20, had been working at a superhero-themed event at a trampoline park when he spotted the man in distress. Surveillance footage showed him sprinting from his car in full Spider-Man costume before pushing the wheelchair safely across the road. Recalling the moment, Hellenthal said: “I had a bunch of adrenaline pumping through me. I was just kind of thinking, ‘I’m wearing this suit; it’s gonna be pretty funny’.” The dramatic clip, shared by Jonesboro police, racked up nearly two million views online and earned praise for the quick-thinking superhero fan. It also follows a horrifying high-speed police chase in Arkansas that ended with a four-month-old baby being flung from a rolling SUV. Dashcam footage captured the vehicle veering off the highway, tearing through a yard and smashing into a telephone pole after driver Tyrice Fletcher, 28, allegedly sped away from officers at more than 100mph during a traffic stop. The infant was thrown from the SUV as it rolled over, while three other children aged under six were rescued from the wreckage by responding officers. All four children were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Fletcher was arrested after the crash and is being held at the Ouachita County Detention Center. He faces multiple charges, including fleeing, four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, along with alleged gun and drug-related offences. Comment now
