Current Events > Heroic cops hangs on to van dangling over a cliff until Man Inside is saved.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not all superheroes wear capes but after Martin Williss heroic stunt on Friday morning, however, his colleagues have taken to calling him Superman.

When Willis was the first cop to arrive on the scene of a traffic collision in West Yorkshire, England, he found that a van had crashed into the safety railing and was left teetering over the side of a bridge with the driver still inside.

As the vehicle swayed dangerously in the wind, Willis grabbed onto the underside of the car and held it steady until West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue arrived.

First on the scene of a collision on the A1(M) this morning and faced with a vehicle balancing over the edge of a bridge with the driver trapped, said Willis on Twitter. After holding on to the vehicle to stop it swaying in the wind I cant begin to describe my relief when West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue arrived on scene.

The driver was later taken to the hospital where his description was described as serious, but not life-threatening, according to the Independent. If Willis had not been on the scene, the drop off of the bridge may or may not have been fatal.

Despite being called a hero after the incident, Willis says that he was simply doing what any other motorway officer would do.

I was only doing my job, but feel very honored to receive so much praise, says Willis.

expected some guy using superhuman strength to hold the van but he's pretty much just one of those dudes that stand at the bottom of ladders to make sure they are stable

This is an awesome story. Just remember, good men like this police officer are despised by liberals just for wearing a badge.

Shut up

I hope this is also your response whenever you see someone negatively stereotyping all conservatives. Otherwise you can shut up.

Yes, it would be. If someone decided to say "all [insert party here] would ignore this great story because [hero/heroine] is a cop" or whatever.

It's like those people whose first response to a mass shooting is to blame Republicans. Unnecessary, helps nothing, and just labels yourself as a partisan who can't have original thoughts or opinions.
