SAN ANTONIO - A military veteran and two police officers were honored for saving a young man's life.
Off duty San Antonio Police Officer Oscar Torres, Alamo Colleges Police Officer Mary Ramirez and military veteran Samuel De Los Santos all jumped into action after a pick-up truck turned in front of Aaron Beaugard.
Beaugard, 22, tried to avoid the truck, but ended up hitting it. He was thrown into a ditch and lost both of his legs.
De Los Santos said he was leaving Northwest Vista College when he heard the accident.
"I wasn't sure what I was going to see," De Los Santos said.
He said he was hesitant to approach Beaugard because of his post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Something in me triggered and I said, 'No. I have to go down there. I have to see what's going on.' I looked down and I see his legs laying there by the sign," De Los Santos said.
