Hero snow plow driver saves boy in Wisconsin after wandering from home
WEST BEND, Wis. (WLS) -- A snowplow driver is being hailed as a hero after saving a 5-year-old boy who wandered away from home in subzero temperatures. David Gehrke was out clearing roads at 4 a.m. in West Bend, Wisconsin last Friday when he found the child alone and cold without a jacket or shoes. "I immediately took my jacket off and wrapped it around him and put him in the truck," Gehrke said. "I called police dispatch. I got the heat blasting in the truck. I'll keep him warm until we get help on the way." The boy was under the care of a babysitter, when he snuck out of the house.
