Two weeks after completing first aid training, two Santa Clara County correctional deputies put their skills to use by rescuing a woman severely injured in a motorcycle accident.
Deputies Walter Valle and Darwin Cano were on a Sheriff’s Transportation Division bus heading to a fuel station when they spotted a woman lying in the street in San Jose. She was riding her motorcycle and claimed she was cut off by a car and thrown from her bike.
The deputies immediately stopped the bus and noticed the woman’s lower left leg was severely injured and she was bleeding heavily. Without hesitation, Deputy Valle applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
