Mom survives wrong-way crash, reunites with deputies who saved her life

On Friday, Wisconsin mother Jae Morgan reunited with Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputies Kendall Pumphrey and Ryan Downs, who rescued her from a wrong-way crash last October.
A suspected drunk driver, Jorge Alvarez Mathizuma, slammed head-on into Morgan's car in October, killing her unborn baby, whom she named Tyme.
Deputies Pumphrey and Downs pulled Morgan from the fiery wreckage. Pumphrey reflected, "This one kind of sits on me a little bit heavier because I didn't know that she was pregnant."
Morgan said seeing the deputies brought "instant comfort, and I felt whole." Her 9-year-old son, Jaedem, added, "Thank you for saving my mom."
Mathizuma remains in custody awaiting trial on charges including reckless homicide of an unborn child. Morgan is walking independently again and writing a cookbook during her ongoing recovery.
