SLOW DOWN 🛑
MOVE OVER ↔️
Another Highway Hero was struck today on the interstate while assisting a stranded motorist. This Hero is a husband. A father. A papa. A friend.
He kissed his wife goodbye when he left home this morning... He said cya later to his daughter & grandbaby... He put on his work boots, jumped in his tow truck and headed to the interstate to assist a stranded motorist.. because thats what he does, he helps others when they have car troubles: breakdowns, accidents, flat tires... He greeted the customer in his cheerful demeanor like always despite the blistering cold, the falling snow & the dangerous conditions on the roadside during this mornings commute. He made sure the customer stayed warm & safe in his trucks cab. He loaded up the car. This Highway Hero was securing that last ratchet & strap when he heard a noise. He looked up. A box truck heading straight at him...
By the grace of GOD, angels watching over him & divine intervention he miraculously is back home tonight.
Bumped & bruised.
But not broken or shattered.
Hurting.
But in good spirits.
ALIVE 🙏🏼
This Hero participated, just shy of a year ago, in the Spirit Ride. A national campaign aimed at bringing awareness to the SLOW DOWN MOVE OVER laws that are ignorantly disregarded resulting in lives broken, lost & shattered, across our country by emergency workers: Police, EMT, Tow Truck Operators, Firefighters..
This Hero carried the Spirit Casket on the back of the very same tow truck he was using today.
Our hearts are heavy.
But thankful 🙏🏼
Our Hero came home.
