OHIO OFFICER RETURNS TO FORCE WITH ARTIFICIAL LEG

A Middleburg Heights police officer has been waiting more than a year to return to work today. Officer Ryan Nagy will return to work after a horrific traffic accident took his leg and almost his life. He recently passed an agility test with an artificial leg. On April 11, 2005, Nagy's cruiser was hit by a truck, pinning the nine-year veteran between two cars. It happened while he was on a traffic stop along Interstate 71. Doctors had to amputate his right leg and he spent the next six weeks in the hospital recovering.

When he was finally released 16 months ago, he said he had one goal, to return to his position as a police officer.
