Video shows hero cop saving man in wheelchair stuck on train tracks

A Lodi city police officer saved a 66-year-old wheelchair-using man from the tracks of a speeding freight train on Wednesday morning, and the incident was captured on video. Though the train still injured the man's legs, he is now in critical but stable condition at a local hospital.

Officer Erika Urrea, a 14-year veteran in the police department of Lodi, a city 35 miles south of Sacramento, saw the man around 8:44 a.m. on Wednesday morning. His wheelchair had gotten stuck on the train's rails, leaving him immobile as the arms of the train signal lowered to block traffic. Bodycam footage shows Urrea exiting her vehicle and running towards the man, at first trying to push his wheelchair off the tracks.As the train's horn blared repeatedly, growing closer by the second, Urrea urgently said,"Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up!" While pulling the man from the chair by the arm, she dragged his body and cane as the large train swept over his lower legs.

The man laid moaning near the tracks as Urrea tumbled backwards onto the pavement. She then rose to her feet, calling 911 for an ambulance as the man laid moaning, his legs injured by the train. HERO ALERT! Officer Erika Urrea of the Lodi, California Police Department sprung into action to save a man's life after his wheelchair became stuck on train tracks.

Hero person. A job doesn’t make you a good human being. That much we’ve proven. Props to her. 🙌🏼

Nice, but we still have not forgotten Dr Eastman op-ed. I was just starting to think Newsweek was well balanced and trustworthy, but you let that op-ed go unchallenged -- without clarifying that he ran against Kamala and noting that Trump's parents were immigrants. Plain bigotry
