Maryland Trooper Risked All to Save Family on I 70
Kenneth Pollack, a Maryland State Police trooper, halted a high speed chase on I 70 near Frederick County. In a staged act he blocked traffic, stood in the interstate with his badge, and risked his life to shield a Middletown couple and their infant daughter from a speeding car. His daring maneuver stopped the van from a direct collision and saved lives. Pollack, 42, suffered injuries in the process, and his actions are hailed as heroic and selfless.
