Officer Saves Woman from Oncoming Train in Monroe Township
In a remarkable act of bravery, Officer Alec Preadmore of the Monroe Township Sheriff’s Office saved a 67-year-old woman lying across a set of active railroad tracks, just moments before a southbound train sped through. The incident unfolded on Tuesday, November 5, at approximately 2:04 p.m. near Albain Road and S. Telegraph Road. Dispatch received a call reporting a woman on the tracks in what appeared to be a suicide attempt, and Officer Preadmore was immediately sent to the scene.
Upon his arrival, Officer Preadmore quickly assessed the dangerous situation. The railroad gates had begun lowering, signaling the imminent arrival of a fast-approaching train. Without hesitation, he ran onto the tracks, pulling the woman to safety with mere seconds to spare. His decisive actions saved her life, and she was soon transported to a nearby hospital for necessary medical treatment and evaluation.
This incident highlights the risks that officers willingly face to protect lives, often putting themselves in harm’s way. In many cases, the trauma of such a close encounter can leave victims and their families dealing with both emotional and financial burdens, making the process of recovery complex. In situations involving potential trauma, including attempted suicide or accidents, victims might pursue compensation for medical expenses, psychological support, and other damages associated with their experience. The costs of hospitalization, therapy, and ongoing care can add up significantly, often leaving families under financial strain.
