Be proud of the police force.
Heroic actions as the article suggests to be commended. Hopefully a full recovery.
Its a very good road through Boa Island, so driver must have gone to sleep, or car failure, can happen to any of us. Fair play to the fast action of the police. I hope all survive well.
Can’t wait for SF to commend the police officers for their bravery.
