Truckers slow traffic to assist Utah Highway Patrol

Two truckers stopped their vehicles on I-15 in Kaysville on Thursday after seeing a Utah Highway Patrol Trooper struggling to get someone on the ground.

I want to say thank you to the truck drivers. I was a law enforcement officer for 28 years. There were two occasions when I needed help. I was lucky enough to have someone stop and help me. Police are not superheroes with superpowers. They are human and need help sometimes. Again, thank you to the drivers who stopped to help.

This is the news coverage we need instead of all hate and negativity.

As a woman traveling alone, truck drivers literally saved my life in Wyoming. Had it not been for those five truck drivers I'd be dead now. Forever grateful!

That trucker was paying attention to road to pull that maneuver. That happened to me one night in Colorado 25 years ago. I was on highway mountain curve blew a tire, rolled and was trapped in middle of 3 lane lanes of highway traffic. A Safeway semi blocked all three lanes until emergency personnel arrived. He saved me from being hit from other cars.

I’m always respectful to truckers on the road, they’re always on the road so they’ll be the most likely to help you out when you really need it. They’re also the backbone of our economy.

Thank you to all the truckers and other motorists who stop to help out law enforcement when in need. Retired LEO.

I applaud you truckers ..
There are still decent and caring people out there in this country nice to see..

Awesome that these fine truck drivers saw a situation and helped take control of it. The safety of all individuals involved are important and rolling around on the highway is not the way to go. God bless these men for honestly, saving 2 lives.

Truck driver held traffic back on a twisty mountain road in case we dumped the motorcycle when the front tire had lost all it's air. Centrifugal force and speed were keeping it 'inflated'. If hubby slowed we'd start to wobble so this was gonna be tricky. Well, when we knew we wouldn't get run over if we did hit the pavement hubby made his move. Fastest controlled stop of any bike I've been on. Forever grateful to the trucker who had our backs. The tube was pinched inside the tire. When it finally went, it really went.

I respect truck drivers . Every time I encounter them in the freeway trying to merge in my lane, I let them have their gap and merge in. It's a tough job and not easy doing trucking, especially if they are in a schedule to pick up or deliver a load.

Truckers deserve more respect, they are real life heros🔥

There is nothing wrong with helping another human...awesome...tired of hearing bad stuff. We all have it in ourselves to help each other only if we listen to our heart ❤.

It is so awesome to see people doing the right thing. Well done guys.

Everybody talking about the truck driver, that was indeed of great help. But that cop was just amazing, he was literally battling on the highway pavement to stop a man on foot from endangering his and other peoples lives. I know you would expect this from a cop but that was nonetheless outstanding.

The world can't live without our truckers delivering EVERYTHING, and now this. So grateful.

Thank you to all who helped the highway patrol officer . That person just walking on the highway needs mental help . Hope he gets help he needs

[RobertWagner-iphf]

Everybody needs a little help sometimes, being that helper is a reward within itself.

[jasonboechler]
