KSP officer goes viral after changing woman’s flat tire

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- A Kentucky State Police officer has gone viral on social media after changing a woman’s flat tire in Barren County. 

Officer Parker was looking for a traffic hazard near the area the woman, Rita Smith Rhinehart, was stranded in. 

He saw her car on the side of the road on I-65, turned on his lights, and pulled in behind her. 

Rhinehart told him she was fine, and that she had called AAA for assistance. Officer Parker knows that AAA usually takes a while, so he changed her tire right there himself. 

“She was so nice and she was so thankful. And just wanted to give me a hug so she gave me a hug. I think at one point she even told me she loved me, made me feel good,” said Parker 

Rhinehart’s post has over 1,000 shares on Facebook.
