A passerby who came upon the scene also complimented the response of a particular sheriff’s office deputy. Christine N. shared the following comments with the sheriff’s office:
“I was one of the 1st people to pull up to the accident on I49 this morning. I just wanted to compliment the 1st sheriff's deputy on the scene
I’m not sure what his name is [Cpl. Jimmie Minor] but his command & control of the scene was not only impressive but when it came to cleaning up the scene he jumped in there with the work crew & helped out!

I just wanted to compliment & say thank you to the Sheriff’s Office as well as the State Police for a job well done.”
