A Michigan State Police trooper rescued a 2-year-old girl who was in the path of a truck.
On May 23, Sgt. Richards was on patrol in Alcona County when he noticed a 2-year-old girl who had wandered across a busy roadway.
As Sgt. Richards approached the girl, she turned and began to re-enter the roadway. He then exited the patrol car and quickly grabbed her up, just as a passing dump-truck locked its brakes in an attempt to avoid the child.
The mother of the child appeared just after the incident and said she had lost track of her daughter for seconds prior to the incident. The child was then returned to her mother, unharmed.
