In May of 2021, Trevor Mills was driving in Radium, B.C. when he saved a driver that crashed over an embankment — and suffered life-threatening injuries while doing so.
An Edmontonian who saved the life of a man, and suffered serious injuries while doing so, has been honoured with a medal of bravery.
What makes this extra special — his uncle received the same award 26 years ago.
In May of 2021, Trevor Mills was driving in Radium B.C. when he encountered an erratic driver ahead of him who eventually crashed over the side of the embankment.
Mills jumped out of his vehicle and down the hill 100 feet to pull the driver out to safety but when he did, the vehicle then rolled over Mills, causing life-threatening injuries.
“I had open book pelvic fracture, broken sacrum, bleeding in my chest, bleeding in my abdomen. I had two broke broken ribs here (left side), four broken ribs on this side, front and back,”
For his heroics, Mills was honoured with a Medal of Bravery at Rideau Hall in Ottawa last week.
“You don’t feel you are worthy of the recognition, but at the same token, you are very appreciative of it,” Mills said.
The heroics run in the family. Mills’ uncle Robert Hawkins, who lives in Nova Scotia, received the same honour in 1998 for saving the lives of two people from a burning house.
