Female Sergeant Honored for Bravery After Saving Fellow Soldier From Smoking Car Wreck
A female U.S. Army sergeant didn’t hesitate to pull over to assist after a vehicle flipped off the road. Little did she know that her quick-thinking actions had saved the life of her fellow soldier.
Nigerian-born Sgt. Mary Ehiarinmwian, assigned to the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, enrolled in the U.S. Army in 2017. Three years later, she witnessed a serious road accident that put her training to the test. The brave soldier was later honored for her heroism and selflessness.
The sergeant was driving to Physical Readiness Training at Hawaii’s Schofield Barracks in June 2020 when the vehicle in front of her collided with a road sign and rolled over several times “before it pierced through the top of a security gate,” reported Army News Service.
