to whom it may concern . On march
9,05 there was a terrible accident
on interstate 70 in illinois at m.m. 38. A 18 year old girl was ejected
from her car
and landed 100 feet away. As i and others stop to lend
assist we could not find the driver. Stranger then show up and started
ripping the door off the car and in doing so gain entry to look inside.
he then told everyone to look in the ditches and to start searching. A
few seconds later he yelled to say he had found the driver. she was 100
feet from the car.as we went over to help,the stranger had begun to
assist the girl,as we all stood there we watch him doing what seem to
be a normal procedure for him. He did everything he could [seeing the
state in which she was in] He then said no pulse, no breathing,ears
bloody and clear fluid, and mouth full of blood with chest crush.He
then turned and said there was nothing anyone could do.The girl did die
at the scene and probably died before he could help her. amazing how a
stranger tried everthing he could do save the life of another stranger
and was unable to do it.At that time the stranger covered the girl up
and slammed his fist into the ground and could be heard to say dam it.
He then got up and returning to his truck where then i told him he did
a very heroic thing in trying to save her life,and thank him for
trying. I also said this was the first horrible accident that i have
ever seen and hope its my last. He then turned to me and said yes it
was, but with all his training he has had, that she still died and that
it is still not fair,he turned and returned to his truck. after that i
realized how lucky we are to have a person like him putting his life
second to try to save others.I hope your company realized how lucky you
are to have a employee like this to put his life second to help others
in time of need. This stranger climb into a gray international with
flint ink on the door as well as the tanker he was pulling. a
description or the driver is about 6 ft. to 6 ft 2 inches tall 260 lb..
had a hat saying fdny with a mustache to his chin,very large built and
also he reminded of a wrestler named the hulkster.as i am a wrestling
fan. I hope you can find this driver in your company and say thank
you,Job Well Done. Hope that this letter shows you how lucky you are to
have a professional driver like
this.
thank
you jack johnson o/o truck driver- again tell him for
me job well
