Sheriff’s Deputy Ric Lindley says he doesn’t understand all the fuss.
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
On Tuesday morning, Jefferson County sheriff's Deputy Ric Lindley was on patrol when he came across a crash on Interstate 20 in Leeds, Alabama. An ambulance, an 18-wheeler, and three vehicles had collided, though, luckily, there were no serious injuries.
Lindley and his partner Deputy Tim Sanford were the first two on the scene. About 30 yards from the scene of the crash, a young mother was outside her car trying to comfort her baby. "She was pretty well shaken up, so I asked her if I could hold the baby," Lindley told AL.com.
That's when Sanford took the above photo of Lindley comforting the little girl. "I wanted to give her mother time to regain her composure," Lindley said. "She's a young mother, and this was probably extremely traumatic for her."
Jefferson County's Facebook page posted the photo and it's now been shared thousands of times. "I did nothing heroic,'' Lindley said of his newfound viral fame. "All I did was hold a baby."
