And he don't want to take any credit.
If it wasn't for him, this man would have bled to death in the middle of nowhere.

If he would have left home a minute or so earlier it would have happened behind him and there would have been no help for hours on this back mountain road in the middle of nowhere.

The Explorer was so badly crushed in, that the driver was impinged. It literally crushed the driver's roof down to the seats and sent the driver's suspension into the rear passenger wheel well.

He stayed until the emergency crew had successfully extricated the driver after ripping the truck to shreds.

SC is going to hospital after work to check on the driver.

Good for SC! Perfect timing in the window of avoiding a head on and saving his life.

Good job. A true Good Samaritan.
I wonder if the driver was drunk or fell asleep?



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I'm no hero. The first responders that showed up and took over are the heroes.
I'm just "passing motorist" on a report somewhere now.
Something stopped me from leaving early this morning, in fact I was running a little late.
If I had left 5 minutes earlier, we would have passed each other and I would have been surprised that there was someone on the road.

The new extrication equipment is amazing.
That thing clipped the doors off like bolt cutters.


I don't know why eh exited the road. I will say it's steep and winding there. And it's where I taggged a deer too.

Station 4 is up the street. I'm sure that's who they sent.

They liked I gave them the exact location up the mountain where I was.


I hope he recovers quickly.

Something a hero would say. I would say, in the alternative, that you were this guy's guardian angel for the moment he needed one. There are people in the world that would have driven on by.
