A Bowling Green Public Works equipment operator, who assisted a citizen in need, earned a commendation from Mayor Mike Aspacher at a recent City Council meeting.
Scott Beeker, a Bowling Green refuse collection driver, assisted a citizen who appeared to be in distress while he was on his regular route on April 13. He noticed a person had fallen on their porch.
Beeker stopped and exited the vehicle to check on the individual and found the person was bleeding and unable to answer questions. Beeker quickly dialed 911 and remained on the scene until paramedics arrived. The resident was found to have had a seizure.
“Thanks to Mr. Beeker’s conscientious efforts and quick thinking, he greatly reduced possible serious medical complications,” Aspacher said. “The mayor’s commendation is to acknowledge and recognize his significant and selfless act for the betterment of this community.”
