An Ohio trooper helped save a baby girl’s life when he performed CPR on her by the side of the road, officials said.
Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Matthew Stoffer drove up to the infant’s desperate parents as they were rushing her to a Mansfield hospital with their hazard lights on, according to dashcam video footage OSHP released Wednesday.
The girl’s father pulled over and yelled out that his daughter was unresponsive, so Stoffer sprang into action in the Sept. 21 stop.
He called for an ambulance and then performed CPR on the 1-year-old girl, Stoffer told the Daily News. He noticed the girl begin to breathe again after 12 compressions.
The ambulance drove the girl to Mansfield Med-Central Hospital, where a helicopter then flew her to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, roughly 66 miles away. She’s now in stable condition, according to OSHP.

“In a stressful situation like that, your training kicks in, it really does,” said Stoffer, 33, an 11-year veteran trooper.
“Everyone does the job they’re trained to do to try to save a life. I feel fortunate and blessed to have been able to do that.”
He received a certificate of recognition Wednesday.
