Frantic Father

This ran a few days ago, but check out Thomas Lake's piece on a man who was arrested while trying to tend to his daughter: After the car crash, after the paramedics came, after the rescue helicopter touched down on Starkey Boulevard on Tuesday night, a man in a black Volvo barreled into the accident scene and nearly sideswiped a deputy.

The man burst from the car and ran across the runway, inches from the chopper's whirling tail rotor. He pushed past the paramedics into an ambulance, where a young woman lay with broken bones and a head wound.

A startled officer asked him what he thought he was doing.

I'm a doctor, he said. That's my daughter.
