A Lowell police officer and firefighter are being praised for going above and beyond the call of duty after they brought an elderly woman groceries after hers were run over two days before Christmas.
“It was just such a wonderful act of kindness and the family is very grateful,” said Connie Hood.
She said she can’t thank Lowell police Officer Andrew Daly and Lowell firefighter Steven Lyle enough.
Hood even wrote a thank you letter to the Lowell police superintendent praising the two.
“We were just out performing our daily tasks, our job and we just happened to see this,” Lyle said.
Hood had just returned to her elderly housing complex on the senior van when it happened.
Daly described it: “We noticed a little old lady putting her groceries into a cart and a car pulled into the bank kind of fast and ran them over.”
Daly and Lyle diffused the situation, then returned later that night with new groceries.
