NC deputy talks about saving 2 toddlers after SUV flips
HILLSBOROUGH, NC (WNCN) — On Thursday morning a captain with the Durham County Sheriff’s Office witnessed an SUV rollover on Interstate 85 in Orange County.
The veteran officer was able to rescue two children before paramedics arrived, but Capt. Raheem Aleem says he’s not the only hero in this story.
Aleem says he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
“I don’t really know if you believe in divine intervention, but I just picked up something from someone in Mebane and I was coming back and I had a meeting on (Highway) 15-501, so I was gonna go 15-501, but I said ‘no, let me go by the office first’,” said Aleem. “So, I kept going straight.”
Then, suddenly, a car right in front of him started flipping. Aleem says a mother was behind the wheel of the SUV, with two toddlers in the back seat.
