Cradled in his arms, the heartbreaking moment a police officer instinctively distracts little girl by singing 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' while her family is pulled from car crash which killed her dad
Part of the job: An officer hold one of the girl who was in the crash and talks to her as his colleagues work to dismantle the car behind
Officer Nick Struck says he was the third officer at the scene in Brighton, Colorado last Thursday, and was soon handed a toddler to look after as other emergency responders assisted the rest of her family in the vehicle.
The girl's father did not survive the crash and her mother and another sibling were airlifted to the emergency room.
Ambulances took the child and two of her three siblings to hospital.
Nobody in the car was wearing a seatbelt, police confirmed.
'When you hear that there's children involved, I'll tell you what, everyone that responds to that scene, you get that pit in your stomach,' Officer Struck told 9News.
'The first thing we do when we get on scene is we just try to, if we can comfort anybody, of course we're going to go to the kids.
'So then the role we do is, to keep them safe, what would I want that dad to do if it was my daughter.'
The father of a two-year-old daughter himself, Struck knew exactly what to do to keep the little girl calm - he started singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.
'I know for my daughter, it's just the attention that someone is there, listening. It's the same for adults, but kids, they take it on a whole other level.
Horrific: Witnesses said the car was driving down Colorado's Interstate 76 in Brighton on Thursday morning when it flipped and rolled
