A father from Australia has his intuition to thank for saving his son's life. 

 

When Tony Lethbridge's son, Samuel, didn't return home from a night out with friends, the dad obviously became concerned.

 

Police were convinced the boy had just run away but Tony knew better. 

 

 

The 17-year-old's dad thought something bad had happened - he was convinced it had something to do with a car wreck - and on a gut-feeling, he hired a helicopter. 

 

 

And thankfully he did because after just 15 minutes of looking for the boy from the air, he was found. 

 

 

Samuel was discovered just 12 miles from the family home, after having been trapped in his car for about 24 hours. 

 

According to 7 News Sydney, the teen is now in intensive care. 

 

We're wishing him a speedy recovery.
