GRIFFIN, Ga. — A 12-year-old is being honored for the steps she took to keep her family safe after a multi-vehicle crash in mid-October.
According to Air Methods, Sage Hopper and her family were involved in a multi-vehicle collision south of Zebulon, Ga. on Oct. 16.
After the crash, Hopper’s quick thinking helped keep the drivers and passengers of the other cars safe until first responders could get to the scene.
In the crash, Hopper’s five-year-old sister Elaine was injured and had to be airlifted for medical treatment by Air Methods’ AirLife 1 flight crew and was taken to Arthur M. Blank Children’s Hospital in Atlanta.
On Saturday, the Hopper family is expected to reunite with the crew of AirLife 1 at their base in Griffin, as well as members of the Spalding Regional EMS, to recognize Sage for her bravery and quick thinking.
