The Lodi, California Police Department officers Aug. 12 morning patrol spread like wildfire on social media this week due to her sprint to pull a man in a wheelchair from certain death.
Officer Urrea was in the area of Lodi Ave and the railroad tracks when she saw a male in a wheelchair who appeared to be stuck on the tracks, the department wrote on its Facebook page. She noticed that the railroad crossing arms started to come down and saw that a train was approaching. She immediately exited her patrol vehicle and began running towards the male. As the train was reaching them, she was able to pull the male out of the wheelchair and they both fell back onto the ground.

Did they get ALL of him out of the path of the train? At the end of the video, one of his lower legs is blurred out. I hope it was there, and not sliced by the train.
That was just way too close.
Not sure then why they blurred out his feet in the video. Yes those debris catchers or "pilots" are made to push objects aside. But surviving having your feet hit by that is no small feet.
Shes a superhero.
Yes she is.
No, no small feet until the swelling goes down at least.
You got it. ;)
Report I saw earlier said the wheel chair guy did get a leg injury
Any normal person would have done the same thing
Wheelchair guy shouldn’t have gotten sideways
She’ll be sued
“But I saved your life?”
“You ruined my death!”
The Incredibles
"You know I'd catch the next train, Back to where I live, Oh Lord, stuck in a Lodi again.
Just, wow!
