Tinley Park Student Reaghan Monahan Saves Lives, Appears on Drew Barrymore Show, Receives Car (Tinley Park, IL) — The Village of Tinley Park held its regular board meeting, Tuesday December 6. In addition to the agenda items, A Proclamation Recognizing Tinley Park High School Student Reaghan Monahan for Lifesaving Actions on October 12, 2022 was awarded.

Reaghan’s mother suffered a seizure on a local expressway while returning from a volleyball game. The seizure caused her foot to lock onto the gas pedal, which resulted in an increased speed. Reaghan, who only held a permit at the time, took control of the steering wheel and avoided colliding with other vehicles on a crowded expressway.

Reaghan moved the driver’s seat back to disengage her mother’s foot from the gas pedal and occupied the driver’s seat with her mother still in it, at which point she was able to maneuver the vehicle to the right shoulder, safely stopping the vehicle.

Mayor Glotz read the proclamation which stated in part:

“That Reaghan Monahan be celebrated for her bravery and presence of mind in an extremely stressful situation, resulting in the safety of all persons in the vicinity of the incident.”

Reaghan, who is described as very quiet and shy, has become somewhat of a celebrity recently. She was flown to New York and appeared on the Drew Barrymore Show, who Reaghan says reached out to the Bettenhausen dealership and gave her a Jeep Compass as a reward.
