In the early morning hours of June 30, 2025, a serious crash involving three vehicles occurred at the SR 45 / SR 683 split (US 41 / US 301). Officers who were across the street on an unrelated call heard the collision and immediately ran to assist, alerting dispatch and additional units to the severity of the crash.
Upon arriving, officers saw one of the vehicles on fire. Inside was an unconscious driver, still buckled in. Acting without hesitation, the officers opened the door, cut the seatbelt, and pulled the driver to safety, moments before the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames.
Their swift and selfless actions saved a life.
A job well done by these officers who continue to serve with courage, commitment, and dedication to protecting others.
This crash remains under investigation by our Traffic Unit.
