Many people are praising a Toronto man for his act of kindness after he started shoveling snow off the roads himself because cars were stuck due to the city's massive snowstorm. His good deed was captured on video, and the footage has now gone viral. This Toronto man has become an internet hero.
It all started when cars were stuck on Don Mills Road during Monday's massive snowstorm . From the video footage, it appears that cars got stuck going up the hill just north of York Mills. This led a Toronto man to brave the cold and go out onto the road to shovel the snow himself so that cars would be able to drive again.
