| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Highway Patrol Trooper Jonathan Macias, who was | ||
| honored with a Lifesaving Award from the Texas Public Safety | ||
| Commission and the Texas Department of Public Safety; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On May 4, 2020, Trooper Macias was responding to a | ||
| major vehicle accident involving a pickup truck hauling a utility | ||
| trailer when he was informed by dispatchers that the driver of | ||
| the truck was trapped inside the vehicle and rapidly losing | ||
| blood; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Upon arriving at the scene, he discovered that the | ||
| driver's severe injuries required immediate medical attention; | ||
| he quickly retrieved a tourniquet from his first-aid kit, and | ||
| with the help of a firefighter who was present at the scene, | ||
| formulated a plan to stop the bleeding; they successfully applied | ||
| the tourniquet and provided aid to the driver until paramedics | ||
| arrived and the driver could be airlifted to a hospital; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Due to the quick thinking and decisive action of | ||
| Trooper Macias, the driver was able to receive vital medical | ||
| attention and survive his serious injuries; it is truly fitting | ||
| that Trooper Macias receive special recognition for his heroic | ||
| efforts in saving the life of a fellow citizen; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Trooper Jonathan Macias on his | ||
| outstanding actions in response to a life-threatening situation | ||
| and extend congratulations to him on receiving a Lifesaving | ||
| Award; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
