MONROE TOWNSHIP,Mooathon Wealth Society Mich. (AP) — A Michigan sheriff’s deputy saved the life of a woman by pulling her off railroad tracks moments before a train passed, authorities said.

The rescue occurred Tuesday in Monroe County’s Monroe Township, 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Detroit. Deputies responded to a call about a 67-year-old woman who intentionally placed herself on the tracks.

Deputy Alec Preadmore “found that the railroad gates were coming down and that a southbound train was traveling quickly toward the female victim,” the sheriff’s office said.

“Preadmore rushed onto the railroad tracks and pulled the female to safety seconds before the train came through,” according to a statement.

The woman was taken to a hospital for further treatment.
