Cop Comforts 2-Year-Old After Deadly Accident

Most of us don’t have to see unthinkable moments like this. But Officer Struck and officers like him, face them every day. A witness to a fatal car accident took the picture of Officer Struck as he comforted a 2-year-old girl after her family’s SUV crashed. The photo captures a moment of kindness in the midst of a heartbreaking scene in Brighton, Colorado.

Officer Struck was called to the scene of the car accident involving the toddler, her parents and three siblings. They were all thrown from their vehicle in the devastating crash; the father was killed instantly. Officer Struck was handed the young girl and immediately thought about what he would do for his young daughter. So he picked up the dazed and confused girl up in his arms and sang “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” to her, something he does to comfort his own child when she’s hurting, reported USA Today.

It’s moments like these where you realize just how difficult a job police officers have and that there so many wonderful ones just like Officer Struck, in our communities.
