He asked one of the physicians to take custody of the heart and joined him in an immediate trip to Jackson-Memorial.

Mosley were traveling Southbound on 17-92 in Debary, heading toward S.R. 400, when Trooper Iovine witnessed a vehicle turning left from a side street. The driver turned right in front of another vehicle, which resulted in a head on collision. Both Mosley and Iovine exited their vehicles and checked on the persons involved. The occupant of vehicle one appeared to be ok. The driver of the second vehicle seemed incoherent and could not immediately be removed from the vehicle. The doors were jammed as a result of the impact. After several attempts, Trooper Iovine successfully pried open the driver’s door and attempted to remove the driver’s seatbelt as a fire ignited in the engine compartment of the vehcile. The driver did not respond to the Troopers and had a strong grip on the steering wheel which made it difficult to remove him. After several tries, A/Lt. Mosley was able to remove the victim from the vehicle before it became completely engulfed in flames. First responders arrived shortly after and rendered aid to the critically injured driver. | |
