McLaren said “While he was responding to a personal injury accident east of Marne, Larsen came across a van that had slid into the ditch. A 16-year old girl had severe injuries to her arm (and was bleeding profusely).” McLaren said the girl was likely in danger of losing her arm. Larsen applied a tourniquet and “most likely saved her arm.”
