SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 415
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Highway Patrol Trooper Jonathan Macias, who was
honored with a Lifesaving Award from the Texas Public Safety
Commission and the Texas Department of Public Safety; and
WHEREAS, On May 4, 2020, Trooper Macias was responding to a
major vehicle accident involving a pickup truck hauling a utility
trailer when he was informed by dispatchers that the driver of
the truck was trapped inside the vehicle and rapidly losing
blood; and
WHEREAS, Upon arriving at the scene, he discovered that the
driver's severe injuries required immediate medical attention;
he quickly retrieved a tourniquet from his first-aid kit, and
with the help of a firefighter who was present at the scene,
formulated a plan to stop the bleeding; they successfully applied
the tourniquet and provided aid to the driver until paramedics
arrived and the driver could be airlifted to a hospital; and
WHEREAS, Due to the quick thinking and decisive action of
Trooper Macias, the driver was able to receive vital medical
attention and survive his serious injuries; it is truly fitting
that Trooper Macias receive special recognition for his heroic
efforts in saving the life of a fellow citizen; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby commend Trooper Jonathan Macias on his
outstanding actions in response to a life-threatening situation
and extend congratulations to him on receiving a Lifesaving
Award; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
