Maryland officer saves student from incoming car

Officials say quick thinking by a Maryland police officer saved a middle school student from being hit by a car. Cpl. Annette Goodyear of the North East Police Department was directing traffic on Friday at a crosswalk when the North East Middle School student entered the intersection. The officer then realized that an approaching car was not going to be able to stop in time and reacted quickly by pushing the student out of the way -- the officer herself was struck. Goodyear was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and later released. The driver of the car was cited for several traffic violations including negligent driving, the Cecil County Sheriff's Office said.
