Door County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Thomas Lemke, Deputy Triston Beauchamp and passing motorist Gary Robert Rasheed Daughtery are being hailed as heroes after their quick actions saved the life of a 47-year-old Algoma man on Monday.

The crash occurred shortly after 3 p.m. on State Highway 42 near Maple Heights Circle. According to the accident report released Wednesday, the man was driving south on the highway when he began experiencing a medical emergency. He drove into a ditch and across a driveway while striking a utility pole. He then turned left across the roadway and into another yard before striking a tree.

The man was found unconscious with his foot still on the accelerator, causing the rear tires to spin until one was destroyed. Lemke, Beauchamp and Daughtery were able to shut off the engine, remove the man from the vehicle, perform CPR and use an automated external defibrillator, or AED.

The man was taken to Door County Medical Center for treatment of possible injuries before being transferred to a Green Bay hospital.

The Door County Sheriff's Department recognized Lemke, Beauchamp and Daughtery for their actions in a social media post Tuesday.

"The quick actions, teamwork and professionalism displayed by everyone involved played a critical role in creating a positive outcome," the post read. "We are proud of Sgt. Lemke and Deputy Beauchamp for their dedication to serving our community, and we extend our sincere appreciation to Gary for his selfless assistance."
