A Michigan sheriff’s deputy is being praised for her daring and quick thinking while stopping a vehicle that was traveling erratically on a Mount Clemens street.

In the Sept. 12 incident, Macomb County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the scene after motorist called 911 about a GMC Sierra that was being driven dangerously, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook statement.

Deputies located the vehicle and tried to get the driver to pull over.

They soon realized that the 63-year-old male driver could not comprehend what was going on, police say.

The deputies pulled alongside the driver’s side of the truck and were able to get the driver to roll down his window and apply the vehicle’s brakes.

Deputy Nichole Miron, who had been in the passenger side of the patrol vehicle, was able to transfer from the sheriff’s office SUV into the truck. Both vehicles were still moving.

She stopped the truck and called for medical response for the driver.

“I commend Deputy Miron for putting herself in harm’s way to help a citizen in need and protect other drivers on the roadway,” said Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham. “Due to her quick thinking and selfless actions, she safely ended what could have been a tragic situation.”
