Labette Co. Deputy credited with saving woman’s life after she was hit by train

It is cliché, but a southeast Kansas woman certainly is grateful that a Labette county deputy was “in the right place at the right time” on Sunday night. Gabe Vitt was on another call Parsons around 9:30 — when he overheard dispatch tell EMS that it had a caller saying a woman had been hit by a train. The call was disconnected before dispatch could obtain a location. It just so happened Deputy Vitt was only a couple blocks away from where it actually happened. He got there, found the woman and applied a makeshift tourniquet to her partially severed leg and kept her calm until EMS arrived.
