When Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Eric Devers heard that there was an accident up ahead, he leapt into action. Because he was the first one on the scene, it was his job to assess the damage and to determine whether or not anyone was hurt. But when he got there, Devers realized that one man was experiencing the worst-case scenario.

That’s when the officer did something truly heroic.
