Police Officer Distracts Little Girl After Father Dies In Tragic Car Accident
This tragic photo shows a heroic police officer from Brighton, Colorado, comforting a little girl at the scene of a car accident where her father was killed. 6 people, including 4 children, were thrown from an SUV at 9:30 a.m. on I-76, though only the father died. The oldest child was five years old and the youngest was an infant, and only the infant was in a car seat or wearing a seat-belt. Witnesses reported that the vehicle lost control when one of its rear tires blew-out.
73 percent of passengers wearing seat-belts who were involved in deadly crashes survived, according to a 2003 study. It’s estimated that seat-belts have saved 255,000 lives in the US since 1975, so keep your family safe! Buckle-up!

God Bless you, officer, you're the reason I treat every single officer that does their job with empathy and integrity the ultimate amount of respect.

"only the infant was in a car seat or wearing a seat-belt" This disgusts me.

while this is nice, i think it cheapens the word "heroic" to say that having a little empathy and human compassion toward a child is anything extraordinary. it sets the bar pretty low if picking up a distraught child is considered heroism.

Considering all of the bad press lately surrounding police officers, I don't mind a little hyperbole here.

This is so sad & so avoidable too. Children especially should never be 'loose' in a car because we have to make their decisions for them so we have to make them good ones. It's become so automatic for me now to put a seat belt on that I wouldn't feel safe without one. And thank God for that kind police officer <3

He has a big heart knowing that he can comfort a little girl when a scene behind him could make him lose control of his emotions.
