The day started like any other for Officer David Harriman. He put on his uniform, strapped on his gear, and headed out on patrol, ready to face whatever the shift might bring. What he didn’t know was that before the sun set, he would be diving into icy water to save a life—and not the kind of life most people expect a police officer to risk everything for.
It happened on a stretch of rural road not far from a wooded riverbank. A woman had been driving with her two dogs in the truck when disaster struck. Whether it was black ice, a slick patch of mud, or just a sudden wrong turn, her vehicle veered off the road and plunged into deep, frigid water. In an instant, the truck was submerged, the freezing current pulling it further under with terrifying speed.
