Hero of the day, Brighton Colorado PD officer Struck comforted the recently fatherless kid, all 6 members of the family were ejected during the vehicles rolling, no one was wearing a seatbelt


he sang "twinkle twinkle little star" to the kid whose dad had just died in the SUV rollover



The father was killed in the single-vehicle wreck on Interstate 76 in Brighton. It happened around 9:30 a.m. just North of Denver.

Police say the two adults and four kids in the SUV were not properly restrained. All of them were ejected in the crash when a tire blew out, the father was pronounced dead at the scene.

The mother and a child were airlifted to the hospital. The three remaining children were taken by ambulance.

"They took an extreme sharp right turn and just immediately started to roll," Matrious said.

The father died at the scene from his injuries. The woman and a child were both airlifted to hospitals in the area and the three other children were taken in ambulances.

When Struck was handed the little girl he told KUSA he began singing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” just like he would with his own 2-year-old daughter.

“When you hear that there’s children involved, I’ll tell you what, everyone that responds to that scene, you get that pit in your stomach,” Struck told KUSA. “The first thing we do when we get on scene is we just try to, if we can comfort anybody, of course we’re going to go to the kids.”
