DENVER -- A grandfather remained in critical condition Thursday after police said he sacrificed himself to save his newborn granddaughter.

James Lewin, 65, was out Friday night walking with his wife, two grandchildren, his daughter and her husband. They were heading home after the annual Candlelight Walk and Tree Lighting ceremony in downtown Littleton.

Lewin was pushing his 12-day-old granddaughter, Sara, in a stroller. They were entering a crosswalk at South Price Street and West Church Avenue when a Dodge pickup truck turned from Prince Street onto Church Avenue and hit Lewin, police said.

Lewin pushed Sarah's stroller out of harm's way just before he was struck by the truck, witnesses said. The family's Web site said the truck dragged Lewin 75 feet after it hit him.

Thanks to her grandfather's quick thinking, Sara was not hurt.



God bless you, Mr. Lewin - may you recover quickly and fully.
Mike
I love you, Shannon and Jim.
POPS 9708 , SCR 14706
