WHEREAS, Paramedic Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County | ||
Office of Emergency Management has been named the recipient of a | ||
Life Saving Medal in recognition of his role in providing medical | ||
assistance to two Fort Worth residents involved in a vehicle | ||
accident; and | ||
WHEREAS, On February 2, 2022, Brandon Daugherty responded to | ||
a traffic incident in which a car lost control on an iced-over | ||
bridge and plunged into the Trinity River; the passenger was pulled | ||
from the vehicle by a witness, and the driver remained trapped in | ||
the car when it sank; a Wise County swift water technician swam into | ||
the frigid river and extracted the man from the vehicle; | ||
Mr. Daugherty helped provide lifesaving assistance on the shore, | ||
and the man rescued from the submerged car was transported to a | ||
hospital and is expected to fully recover; and | ||
WHEREAS, Every day, the first responders of Texas are called | ||
to the aid of individuals in need, and through his swift and | ||
decisive action in this critical situation, Brandon Daugherty | ||
upheld the highest standards of his profession and helped to save | ||
the life of a fellow citizen; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby congratulate Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County Office of | ||
Emergency Management on his receipt of a Life Saving Medal 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. Daugherty as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas Senate. |
