From Florida-
A Palm Beach police officer was on his way to work one night when a man jumped in front of his car on Interstate 95.
It was the officer’s personal car, so it was just coincidence that the man jumped in front of a car driven by a police officer.
As the officer stopped to make sure aid was on the way, he also called the Palm Beach police station to let the duty captain know what had happened.
When the duty captain got to the scene, he called back to the station to ask if a Catholic priest was available to talk to the officer, who was distraught.
On the other end of the telephone was then-Sgt. Fred Hess.
“The officer was Catholic and wanted a priest to provide consolation,” Hess said. “He knew it wasn’t his fault, but was still going through the ‘what ifs.’”
The Florida Highway Patrol determined it was the man’s intent to commit suicide; he died from his injuries, Hess said.
