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. |
