Dayton, Ohio police officer Byron Branch is headed to Paris to compete in the 2024 Paralympic Games in wheelchair fencing. 

Branch was severely injured in 2016 when responding to an accident that resulted in the loss of his leg. 

"I was responding to an accident on the highway," Branch told "Fox & Friends." "There was a semi on the side of the road that just got in an accident. I went to go check on the driver, make sure everything was okay with them before I headed on. He came out of his vehicle.
