Joseph Caruso from New Jersey shares how a chaotic crash at the end of his street turned into a potentially tragic scene and how quick thinking, a Byrna less-lethal launcher, and calm action likely prevented harm.
On a packed Sunday at nearby softball fields a pickup lost control, slammed into parked cars and careened toward where children were gathering. Joseph ran inside, grabbed a Byrna kept at his doorway, returned to the scene, ordered the driver out, and kept him contained until police arrived. Officers found alcohol and prescription pills in the truck; the driver was arrested. A lieutenant told Joseph his actions “probably saved lives” and prevented a tragedy.
