Family saved by state trooper and tow truck driver

A family from Illinois is lucky to be alive after they were saved by a state trooper and a tow truck driver from carbon monoxide poisoning.

The state patrol says the family’s car, carrying 2 women and 3 children was found in a ditch on I-94 near Black River Falls on Sunday. Initially the family was okay, but they fell unconscious later because of carbon monoxide fumes leaking into the cab. After spotting the family was in trouble, State Trooper Craig Larson and a tow truck operator Pat Brauner pulled them out and performed CPR on four of the passengers until everyone was safe.
