There is a great sense of pride to be the first on the scene of a spot news situation. When WDTN-TV Photog, Don Hatcher heard about a multi-car accident on his scanner, he knew he could beat everyone to the site. When he arrived, he found he had made it before the paramedics, and one of the victims needed help. Hatcher immediately put down his camera to help save a life.

Hats off to Hatcher for proving we are humans first – photogs second.
