Matthew Cushing, a UofL Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration student and active-duty U.S. Army officer, saved motorists injured in a car accident during a recent commute to work.
Cushing, who is assigned as the assistant professor of Military Science at Jackson State University’s Reserve Officer Training Corp program, came upon the scene of a three-car accident on January 14. He directed two bystanders to help him free a man who was trapped in one of the vehicles. When they were initially unable to get the man free, Cushing used a fire extinguisher to bend the broken window so they could extract the man.
