||
WHEREAS, Brian Young of Montague County was deservedly | ||
recognized with the Texas Department of Public Safety's Director | ||
Award on November 27, 2018, for his courageous actions in rescuing a | ||
woman after a car crash; and | ||
WHEREAS, The accident occurred in front of Mr. Young's home | ||
on the evening of February 26, 2017; following the impact, one of | ||
the vehicle engine compartments caught fire, and the driver, who | ||
had suffered a knee injury, found herself unable to open her door to | ||
escape; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Young raced to the vehicle, which was filling | ||
with smoke, and managed to force the driver's side window down, | ||
unbuckle the driver, and pull her to safety; he promptly called | ||
9-1-1 and did his best to make the woman comfortable until emergency | ||
help arrived; by the time the fire department appeared on the scene, | ||
the front of the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames; and | ||
WHEREAS, Brian Young demonstrated tremendous bravery and | ||
selflessness by risking his own safety to help a woman in danger, | ||
and he has earned the profound gratitude of a fellow Texan and the | ||
admiration of all who know him; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Brian Young for his heroism in rescuing a | ||
woman after a vehicle accident and extend to him sincere best wishes | ||
for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Young as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
