(Northern Indiana) - Four Indiana Department of Transportation workers were recognized this week for heroism.

 

Owen Clingler, Doug Klausing, Hunter Browning, and Kyle Gregor work for INDOT down in Winamac. On March 1st, the four found themselves first on the scene at an accident on U.S. 35 in southern Pulaski County.

 

Luckily, two of them are themselves first responders outside of their INDOT jobs. They tended to the driver of a car that had rolled twice off the roadway, while the other two directed traffic.

 

They all handled the scene until paramedics and firefighters arrived.

 

In related news, another INDOT crew rescued a kitty cat from a precarious situation.

 

On Thursday, workers discovered the kitty high atop a salt dome near U.S. 31 north of Plymouth. They say the cat was chased by some coyotes and sought refuge on top of the structure, where it became stuck.

 

The INDOT crew brought in a bucket truck to bring the cat back down to safety.
