Dashcam footage just released shows trooper Eric Devers arrive at the scene of a crash and immediately sprint toward the driver. Devers found the man still belted into his seat. Shortly after, his eyes rolled back into his head and he stopped breathing, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

"Keep breathing!" Devers can be heard shouting in the video. "Don't you die! Don't you die on me! Come on!"

Devers received a Certificate of Recognition for his actions. The driver ultimately made a full recovery after being transported to the hospital.
