Charleston, WV- A girl saved her father's life, by posting a video on Facebook.

When lightning struck a nearby tree and pinned Gregory Vance beneath heavy trees and limbs, his daughter did what she knew to do.

The storm knocked out all cell phone signals and they had no land line, so Vance's 10-year-old daughter Brianna posted a tearful video on Facebook requesting an ambulance.

She’s the reason Vance made a safe return home from the hospital Saturday, right in time to celebrate Father's Day.

After suffering a broken shoulder, ribs and various disks in his back, he has his daughter to thank for saving him.
