A sheriff’s office in OR released video of the rescue earlier this month of a toddler who ran into the middle of a highway.
Sheriff’s Deputy Jeremy Gautney was driving on US 101 in the coastal city of Newport on January 9, when he noticed the boy running towards his patrol auto, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said.
The deputy spotted the boy and slammed on his breaks to avoid hitting him… Deputies say the incident was accidental and no criminal charges were brought against the parents.
