The scene was shocking on Highway 115 Wednesday morning after police say Mike Bobian ran a stop sign, resulting in the crash. Two cars were twisted. Three children were thrown from one of them.


"The accident actually took place right outside my residence," said PFC Logan Cameron.

Cameron was on his way to a day of work at Fort Carson when he discovered the accident. The Army medic had his first response kit with him.

ST. CLAIR TWP. — A local soldier is a hero in Fort Carson, Colo. after helping save the lives of three children.

Private First Class Logan Cameron, of Saint Clair Twp., was with another soldier then the pair were the first on the scene of a crash in which the three kids were thrown from their father’s vehicle, according to Local12. Police said Mike Bobian, the father, ran a stop sign as he was exiting from Highway 115 at Lake Avenue and was broad-sided by another vehicle.

Cameron, a combat medic and Staff Sgt. Shane Corley, were both near the crash scene in different vehicles, heading into work at the nearby U.S. Army base. The two are both Iraq War veterans but had never met before Wednesday.

When Cameron arrived at the crash site he grabbed his aid bag, jumped out of his car and worked to stabilize the children and help the father.

“There were several people laying out on the ground,” Cameron said.

“They were able to respond to my commands,” he said. “I was trying to get them to calm down and take deep breaths.”

Corley showed up on the crash scene a few minutes before Cameron. He called 911 and tried to help the young girls.
