This week, we have the honor of spreading the word about this life-saving trucker. Long time driving veteran Robert Tyler earned the certificate, patch, and pin of a TCA Highway Angel when his quick-thinking actions saved one driver’s life, and possibly prevented further traffic injuries.
After pulling up next to a vehicle blocking traffic, Tyler noticed that the driver had collapsed over the console, convulsing and struggling to breathe. Since the driver’s foot was on the brake pedal, Tyler pulled his truck in front of the car to prevent the vehicle from rolling into the nearby intersection. He then pulled the man out, and with the help of a nurse who had stopped, administered CPR until an ambulance arrived.
Truck drivers have a rough job. Our everyday lives depend on their work, and every once in a while, they play a crucial role in the saving of lives. So, keep this amazing story in your memory banks as a fine example of drivers in the trucking industry.
