MIAMI — A Florida Highway Patrol trooper is being called a hero after helping save a 1-year-old in Miami a little over a week ago.
On Oct. 16, Trooper Reginald Mathieu responded to an emergency on I-95 in Miami involving a 1-year-old who was unresponsive, FHP Miami said in a tweet.
The trooper arrived to a vehicle pulled over on the side of the interstate where multiple people surrounded the unconscious toddler. Mathieu immediately began to render first aid.
He performed a series of back blows until the 1-year-old regained consciousness, according to FHP.
In FHP Miami's tweet, they ended the message with the hashtag, hero.
