Steve Whitcomb, a New Hampshire firefighter, responded to a horrific Christmas eve car crash on Tuesday, pulling a dying woman from the wreckage. His worst nightmare became a reality as he realized the victim was his own daughter.
Katie Hamilton, a 30-year-old mother of three, died after a crash forced her SUV into oncoming traffic, causing a head-on collision with her vehicle, according to police. A total of three cars were reportedly involved in the deadly accident.
In a tragic twist of fate, it was Whitcomb who was one of the first responders to the accident that killed his own daughter. He reportedly owns a heating and cooling company and works as a volunteer firefighter in his spare time.
