When a Tennessee deputy saw a truck barrelling toward him and his wife, he quickly shoved her out of the way, willing to sacrifice himself to save his love. Twenty-three days after the tragic crash, a miracle occurred.
Anderson County Deputies Lucas and Nicole Shoffner were fixing a dirt bike on the side of the road at night when off-duty Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputy Raymond Surber accidentally plowed into the young couple with his 2017 Chevrolet Silverado.
The crash was horrific, leaving both the husband and wife injured.
Nicole was transported to Fort Sanders for a minor head injury, and Lucas was rushed to the UT Medical Center Transplant Intensive Care Unit for critical head injuries, WBIR reported.
His condition was so dire that doctors placed him in a medically induced coma in the hopes that they could stabilize him. It was then that officials revealed what had happened that fateful evening.
