Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisc., described the scene of a horrific highway crash that prompted him and other bystanders to help save an 11-year-old child this weekend.

Van Orden told the Washington Examiner that he and his family were driving in Iowa when he saw the crash in his rearview mirror.

"I’m watching a Dodge Grand minivan disintegrate. It seemed to drift off the road at about 70 miles per hour, more so on the passenger side of the car. My wife, Sarah, was like, what happened? I looked at it, I said, someone just died," he told the outlet.

Van Orden, a former Navy SEAL, said he quickly pulled his car over and rushed back to the scene.
