Driver prays for family of FDNY hero Steven Pollard, who died trying to save him
A driver involved in a wreck that led to the death of a New York City firefighter says he’s praying for the rescuer’s family.
Correction Officer Travis Simms was driving to work Sunday night when he hit a slick patch and his vehicle rolled over on Brooklyn’s Mill Basin Bridge.
Firefighter Steven Pollard fell about 50 feet while trying to cross a gap between the bridge’s two spans to help him.
