A Maryland police officer is being credited with saving a middle school student from being hit by a car, officials say.

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 by the car.

The incident was caught on camera, WUSA reported.

After the officer was struck, the student and the driver were seen attending to her.

Cecil County Executive Danielle Hernberger shared the video on her Facebook page. Hernberger said she has spoken with the towns mayor and they are working on commendations for Goodyear.

Cpl. John Fakner of the North East Police Department said Goodyear was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and was later released.

The driver of the car was cited for several traffic violations including negligent driving, the Cecil County Sheriffs Office said.

"Hey I'm in a school zone, in wet conditions, better stop paying attention to what I'm doing with this guided missile I'm controlling"

Guessing the driver was on their phone. In a just world their license would be taken away forever.

I saw on another site saying that the video came from the dashcam of the school bus, when people were wondering who filmed it.

That looked like a hard fall. Good that it was only minor injuries. When I first saw the video, my mind went immediately to her hip.

As much idiots and just evil people are out and about, I always feel something when you see a bunch of strangers running in to help.

I would have been the one to run in and clothesline that dumbass driver

Traffic violations? Seems like there should be something a little more substantial for the carelessness involved in attempting to run over a young kid.
