Police Officer in VA Saves Mother By Lifting Car Off Her Head [Video]
This is really an amazing story. The Officer, Deputy Jon Holt rushed into the situation and did everything he could to help. This is from an incident that occurred on May 7th in Gloucester County, Virginia.
I’ll bet the people involved aren’t looking to slash the police budget. Kudos to Deputy Holt.
“The driver was laying underneath the vehicle with her head pinned by the sunroof,” the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office statement read. “Seeing the trauma her child was witnessing, Deputy J. Holt went into overdrive.”
Authorities shared a portion of Deputy Holt’s body camera footage that captured the entire ordeal as the officer can be seen arriving on site in his vehicle before sprinting towards the accident.
A child whose identity has been blurred from the video can be seen inside the vehicle crying and pleading with the officer to help their mother.
Something that I noted when I read the story, race wasn’t mentioned anywhere. Pretty refreshing these days.
The whole thing is at abc30 News. Here is a portion of the bodycam that the police released.
