Officer Joe Belmontes

Espanola Police Department Espanola NM Saves Club

Officer Belmontes was involved in an automobile accident. His injuries were so servere that he was placed in a medically induced coma for one month. The surgeries during this time one to reposition his stomach from the chest area back into the abdomen and another to repair a small tear in his aorta. He also received a broken arm, three broken ribs and a collapsed lung. His physician told him that normally injuries of this severity result in death but the fact that he was wearing his protective vest likely saved his life.
