Littlefield Earns Another Award
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
An Indiana State Policeman from Syracuse was honored Friday with a second award for bravery in saving the life of a truck driver involved in a fiery crash.
ISP Trooper Thomas K. Littlefield, Syracuse, received a Paul Harris Fellow Award from Syracuse Rotary Club. This is the second time in less than a month that Littlefield has been honored.
"This is our highest award given for outstanding feats," said Syracuse Rotary president Bill Fowler. The award, named for the club's founder, has never been given to a non-member by the Syracuse club.
He is only the 14th officer in the 63-year history of the agency to receive the Gold Star Award for Valor. Littlefield recieved the ISP award at a mid-December award ceremony in Bremen.
The awards were given for Littlefield's brave actions in responding to a fiery car-semi crash March 12 on U.S. 30 near CR 350W, Warsaw.
Littlefield attempted to rescue a driver trapped in a burning car, but was driven back by the flames.
He then attended to the semi driver, who was lying in diesel fuel surrounded by burning grass. One of the vehicle's gas tanks exploded, and burning debris was thrown on both the semi driver and Littlefield.
The driver of the car died when his car exploded. [[In-content Ad]]
