Officer Rescues Unconscious Teen From Burning Truck

Officers arrested the other driver, who they believe was drunk and driving with no license or insurance.

Puckett was commended for his performance by Sgt. Josh Ward, who said “there is no doubt that if Pfc. Puckett would not have gotten the female out of the car when he did … she would not be with us at this time. His swift actions and calm demeanor saved her life.”

The police department also wanted to thank other passersby who helped at the scene.

The latest records from Georgia’s Department Driver Services show police arrested 19,000 drunk drivers in 2019.
