Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LeRoy Police Department would like to commend Officers Smith and Nielson for
their actions during a recent emergency call, which ultimately provided a critical window of time
for a driver experiencing a medical emergency to spend precious final moments with his family.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 23rd, 2024, at approximately 10:40AM, Officers Terrez Smith and Matthew Nielson
responded to a report of a car accident on State Route 19 near North Road in the Town of LeRoy.
The scene revealed a vehicle that had gone off the road, and the driver, a 79-year-old male, was
found unresponsive inside.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quickly realizing that the situation was more than just an accident, Officers Smith and Nielson
conducted a swift assessment and determined the driver was experiencing a severe medical
event. Demonstrating exceptional training and composure, Officer Smith and Nielson
administered first aid, performed CPR, and utilized their department-issued Automated External
Defibrillator (AED) to stabilize the individual. These immediate actions successfully revived the
driver, who regained a pulse and began to show signs of life.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver was then transported to Strong Memorial Hospital by LeRoy EMS for continued
medical treatment. Sadly, despite the best efforts of the medical team and the immediate care
provided by Officers Smith and Nielson, the driver passed away nearly a week later. Crucially, the
life-saving measures taken at the scene afforded the driver the valuable opportunity to be with his
family, who remained by his side during his final days.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quick response exhibited by Officers Smith and Nielson exemplifies the highest standard of
service and dedication. While the outcome is deeply saddening, we take comfort in knowing that
his actions allowed the family to have a meaningful time together during these difficult days.
Our condolences go out to the driver’s family and loved ones. Officers Smith and Nielson\u2019s swift
intervention underline the importance of the continuous training and preparedness of our first
responders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
