King County, WA – What began as a routine car-versus-pedestrian response in King County turned into a moment of compassion after deputies learned the injured woman had been on her way to deliver birthday flowers before the crash.
According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the collision and determined the woman’s injuries were minor. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment, but the incident meant she would miss a planned birthday celebration for a friend.
Rather than letting the flowers go undelivered, deputies took it upon themselves to finish the task.
The Sheriff’s Office shared that members of the responding squad ensured the birthday flowers still arrived at their intended destination, delivering them on the woman’s behalf later that evening. Body camera images released by the department show deputies carefully carrying the bouquet during the delivery.
“This is a reminder that our deputies don’t just answer calls,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a social media post. “They lead with care and compassion.”
The incident occurred within King County, part of the Seattle metropolitan area, and has since drawn positive reactions from community members online, with many praising the deputies for taking extra time to help during what could have been a stressful night.
Officials did not release details about the exact location of the crash or the identities of those involved. No serious injuries were reported.
Moments like these, the department said, highlight the human side of law enforcement—small acts that can make a meaningful difference during difficult circumstances.
