Howard County Sheriff
Jerry Marr got a disturbing
call one Saturday afternoon a
few months ago.
His 6-year-old grandson.
Mikey. had been hit by a car
while fishing with his dad.
The father and son were
near a bridge by the Kokomo
Reservoir when a woman lost
control of her car, slid off the
bridge and hit Mikey at a rate
of about 50 mph.
Sheriff Marr had seen the
results of accidents like his
and feared the worst.
When he got to Saint
Joseph Hospital, he rushed
through the emergency room
to find Mikey conscious and
in fairly good spirits.
"Mikey. what happened?”
Sheriff Marr asked.
Mikey replied. “Well,
Papaw, I was fishin’ with Dad,
