Clawson P.D. would like to give a shout out to two outstanding Northern Pipeline employees, Rock Kincaid and Carl Ross, who sprang into action to assist a citizen experiencing a medical emergency on August 21st. Their selfless actions and quick thinking prevented what could have been a tragedy.

While working on the Consumers Energy 4 Cities Metro Pipeline project, employees Rock Kincaid and Carl Ross observed a vehicle traveling down Nahma Ave veer off the roadway, strike a sign, and continue in drive down the sidewalk. They observed the driver was slumped over at the wheel. Mr. Ross was able to run alongside the vehicle and access the interior to get the vehicle in park. Working together with Mr. Kincaid, they were able to get the driver medical attention and quickly get this vehicle stopped right before it would have struck a utility pole. Please join us in thanking and recognizing them for their commitment to assisting with keeping our community safe!
