I know this LODD isnt purely EMS but felt it warranted a posting.

This officer died after his police car crashed into a utility pole. The cause is unkown at this time, he was not responding to a dispatched call. What makes this unfortunate is hours earlier this officer saved an elderly gentelman's life after he began choking on a piece of steak at a local steak house. After proforming CPR while awaiting EMS units he was able to get a pulse on this gentleman. Hours later he himself passed away.

Prayers go out to his family and friends.

Thoughts of peace and healing for those that loved him from the Womacks in Colorado...

What is frightening to me, is that the crash happened across the street from the Teaneck Police Department headquarters. My ex-fiancee is a volunteer in the hospital he, and the man he had saved, were taken to.

My condolences to his family, the Teaneck PD, and the Teaneck FD and EMS, who probably interacted on numerous scenes with him.
