DURANT, Okla. (KXII) - A Durant, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper is one of nine awarded 2022 Trooper of The Year.
Nathan Mullins, who is assigned to Troop E in Durant, was recognized for humanitarianism after he rescued a driver trapped in his burning semi-truck.
OHP Captain Scott Hampton said it all happened when three semis collided.
A Stringtown fire truck responded to assist - when a fourth semi crashed into the fire truck. No one was in the fire truck at the time.
The semi driver rescued by Trooper Mullins was critically wounded but survived.
