Heroic boy saves mother
Fire department award goes to quick-thinking boy after accident
A terrifying accident could have produced the most dispiriting of tragedies. Instead, it produced a most inspiring young hero — 10-year-old Bradley Mitchell who emerged from the crumbled wreck to rescue his two younger siblings, flagged down a motorist to get help, then went back to search for his mother — who had been ejected from the car. Once he found her, he gave her CPR — and saved her life. So when local and Valley firefighters heard the little hero was suffering from nightmares about the December accident on Highway 87, they staged a ceremony to honor the fourth-grader for his life-saving actions.
