A sheriff in a central Florida county was the hero of the day for a family after the scary moment of being involved in a car accident.
NBC affiliate WFLA-TV reported that Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister saw the crash happen in Brandon, located east of Tampa, and sprang into action.
Chronister helped the woman involved in the crash and her two children, pulling one of the children from the wreckage to safety after he was unable to get out.
The mother and her children were not involved in the accident.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office reported that one of the children involved, a 5-year-old girl, told Chronister she wants to “be a police officer when I grow up.”
