A candid photo shows a Brighton police officer singing a lullaby to distract a little girl from a deadly crash that killed her father.
Officer Nick Struck was handed the 2-year-old girl, who was the only person who wasn't hurt or killed by the accident. As the chaos unfolded around them, the officer did his best to distract the little girl from what was going on.
He sang her a lullaby.
The little girl's father died instantly in the crash. Her mother and three of her siblings were injured. Paramedics worked frantically to save them while handing off a gasoline soaked two-year-old to Officer Struck, who says the little girl immediately reminded him of his own daughter.
My daughter, who's the sweetest thing in the world, when she falls and cries, she wants Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sung to her so then this girl when I was out in the field, I was singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and pointing to the lights on the fire truck
Jessica Matrious was behind the SUV before it took a fatal crash, and managed to snap the photo of the officer that is now going viral.
The photo has been retweeted hundred of times worldwide, but Struck insists that any officer would have done the exact same thing.
