On Christmas Eve night, an 81-year-old Avon resident was involved in a relatively minor motor vehicle crash on Hilliard. There were no injuries, but unfortunately, the collision disabled the man's car due to a flat tire. Not only did Pt. Zach Hitchens respond to investigate the crash and keep the scene safe, but he also took the time to save Christmas by changing the man's tire so he could be on his way. Today, the man "repaid" the gesture by presenting a custom-made wren house, created by hand, to Officer Hitchens. It's not necessary, but it's well appreciated! Great Job Zack. Just another example of WPD going above and beyond.
