💔 Father of Two Dies After Stepping In to Save Girl From Being Strangled, Family Says
A 49-year-old Ohio father is being remembered as a hero after family members say he lost his life while trying to save a young woman from a violent assault.
According to relatives, Billy Grooms and his son were at a gas station in Hillsboro, Ohio, on Sunday when they witnessed a girl being strangled. Family members say Grooms stepped in and told the suspect to let her go.
They allege the suspect then got into a truck and intentionally ran Grooms over.
Grooms suffered multiple broken bones and a traumatic brain injury. Despite doctors’ efforts, his family says his injuries were too severe to overcome.
The young woman Grooms helped later released a statement, calling him a hero and saying she believes his actions saved her life.
Grooms leaves behind his wife and two sons. His family says he chose to be an organ donor and will continue helping others through those donations.
Police say the investigation remains ongoing.

Five sorority sisters pulled over on a rural Georgia road when they saw a SUV sinking into a creek.
They waded in, freed a mother and her two sons, then watched Clarke Jones drop to her knees and perform CPR on a four-year-old whose lips had turned blue.
About a minute later, he opened his mouth and started crying. The sheriff's office made all five honorary deputies.
