Vacationing York Area Regional officers, paramedic help save Lancaster man in Ocean City
York Dispatch
Three York Area Regional Police officers and a paramedic have been recognized for saving a Lancaster County man whose leg was severed in a Maryland motorcycle crash last year.
Officers Jeremy Fatland, Mitchell Darius and Robert Miller and paramedic Meagan Fatland were recently commended by the York Area Regional Police Department for taking action and potentially saving the Ephrata man s life, said Chief Tim Damon.
The four were vacationing in September in Ocean City and were looking for a restaurant when they heard a crash and saw a motorcycle sliding down the street, he said. They were about 50 to 70 feet away and didn t hesitate to help because they knew someone might be injured, Damon said.
The BMW had its license plate covered, as well as red and blue flashing lights. The witness said the impersonator was out of the car yelling at the driver he had pulled over, police said. Please call 911 if you see this vehicle stopping other cars, it is not believed to be a police officer, according to police. It is NOT a York Area Regional Officer.
