A quick-thinking 10-year-old boy became the hero of the day after his mother was injured in a remote wooded area near Constitution Avenue in the City of Bradford.

The incident occurred Thursday afternoon in an area with no cell service, preventing a call to 911. The woman was trapped beneath an ATV that had rolled over. Understanding the urgency, the boy left his mother’s side and made his way through the woods to a nearby familiar home to summon help.

Bradford City fire and police departments, assisted by Bradford Township Police Department, responded at about 3:15 p.m. Township police deployed their off-road utility vehicle to reach the scene.

First responders worked together to lift the ATV, extricate the victim and provide necessary medical attention. Police report the victim was taken to Bradford Regional Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment.

“The Bradford City Fire Department, Bradford City Police Department and Bradford Township Police Department commend the bravery of this young child and the cooperation of all responding agencies,” representatives said in a press release.
