Windsor Police Constable BJ Wiley was awarded the Ontario Medal for Police Bravery Thursday evening.
On June 12th, 2021, Cst. Wiley was off-duty and travelling with his family along a very remote section of a highway when he spotted a vehicle on fire. Inside the car was an elderly driver who appeared panicked and unable to exit.
Cst. Wiley approached the vehicle and noticed the doors were locked, the window partially down, and the driver tangled in the seatbelt. He began to remove the man through the partially opened window. As he was being pulled out, the driver’s foot caught the interior of the door, which opened the door.
Cst. Wiley then dragged the man to safety before the vehicle exploded.
