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.

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.

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!
I'm a truck driver and I was on the way back home when I saw a lady on the side of the road with a flat. I stopped to help her she had her kids with her and she called a tire shop they said it would be a couple hrs till they got out there. Her spare had no air in it but I told her that's fine cause I carry a air hose that hooks to my glad hand so I put air in her spare and put it on for her. On a side note if you'll have a spare tire I recommend checking it once a month it never hurts to check it you never know when ur need it
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.
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.

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 ❤.
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.
@@festerbestertester1658 slow down? It honestly sounds like you’re the one going too slow, most semis are governed under the highway speed limit, so for you to say they’re going too fast, doesn’t quite click. I’m fact, the only part about semis that annoy me is how they’re slow, and that’s not the drivers fault.
@@evanshireman5644 Get real. When was the last time you saw a truck, on level ground, doing less than the speed limit plus at least ten? If I'm doing 60 and I look in my mirror and see nothing but the truck's grille then, yes, he needs to back off and slow down. He's just trying to intimidate me.
@@evanshireman5644 If it honestly sounds like I'm driving too slow, then maybe you should take a driving refresher course. I drive the limit, which is as fast as I am legally allowed to go. I drive in the right lane. If I look in the mirror and I see nothing but a truck's grille, that truck needs to back off and slow down.
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.
I've always appreciated how difficult truckers job is but since covid, where I had to start driving more, I became even more appreciative of their jobs and just the way they are on the roads. With few exceptions, they are the most courteous, careful and overall kind people on the road.
Bless all Truckers.... My Hubby was traveling on the Turnpike going 80 mph when his left front tire literally shredded into pieces. A trucker behind him realized what happened and started weaving back and forth across the lanes to slow traffic. Thankfully Hubby has had emergency drivers training as was able to get his pickup truck safely to the side of the road. Thank you to the Trucker for his quick reaction and for preventing someone from hitting debris or my Hubby.
Truckers are a very special breed of people - they are, for the most part, very selfless and giving people, and every trucker I have met, including my best friend, are always willing to help no matter what. The world runs on truckers and their dedication, so I am always thankful we have them.
You gotta love a truck driver. These are some of the hardest working men and women out there and they are so down to earth and real. Much respect for these two who stopped and helped. ❤️😘🤟
That’s the kind of action of people stepping up when they realize someone needs help to save a life the truckers seeing what need to be done for an officer could get there , taking their love of helping a fellow citizen and one of our officers the much needed help for all involved. This is the kind of love that has built our Country ❤seeing true love helping others no matter who the person is you all are great people that love doing what’s right, Thanks to everyone that what was needed to keep that person safe and possibly others to
Most times when pedestrians are on a controlled access highway without a stranded vehicle, they’ve either been dumped, or most commonly, mentall ill. The dumped ones rarely fight police. Those truckers not only helped the officers, but definitely a citizen who was needing that intervention and restraining a mentally ill person often requires significant physical force because they cannot feel the pain of their exertion. Extra hands helps reduce the risk of injury to everyone, especially the person in crisis.
That’s exactly what I was wondering, is if this person was not in their right mind. Could you imagine what sacrifice it must take to tackle someone on the road to (probably) try and save them who might very well have a death wish? I work with kids up to 21 who have disabilities in therapy and we have to have emergency plans in place were something like this to ever happen. Thankfully the freeway was not near by and I have so far never had to wrestle a child who doesn’t understand away from the road 😂
I will say there also rly needs to be more barriers to pedestrians entering the highway it is quote on quote controlled access but there is nothing physically stopping a pedestrian from entering. A gate similar to a toll booth type of situation could work
I drove a Big Rig for my fathers company when I was only 16 years of age. There's NO occasion I wouldn't block traffic and help and officer in need. It's simply called being Human.
I was a correctional officer having a wrestling match with an inmate who was getting the better of me. Other inmates stood watching this wrestling match and asked me if I needed help. I said no thanks, it will be alright. 30 seconds later the inmate I was wrestling with was on the ground subdued. You never know where help will come from.
Maybe there's more than one reason to thank a trucker today. Don't just cuss us out and give us the finger in traffic because we're slow moving. we're a whole lot heavier than you are. And we're heavy because we are bringing you the goods that you require.
Yet another reason love truckers. Not only are they the bones and structure of our society but ive never meet a bad, mean, rude or annoying trucker, truely sone of the greatest people in the world without a doubt
As long as you give them respect they respect you right back. But for example say 1 trucker is having a problem maybe he is in the middle of a potential hijack and can't do annything, all he has to do is click the button for the Cb and say their location and that they need help. I guarantee that within 5 min 20-100 trucks will pull up most likely with a shotgun, and this goes for annyone as long as they have a CB or some way to contact them
When I was growing up, truckers helped State Troopers all the time. They would all line up across the lanes side by side and slow down to make cars stop that were running from the police. Troopers back then had CB radios in their cars and could talk to the truckers. That's how big of a help they were. They'd help look for kidnapped kids in a certain car or whatever it was. Today, a lot of truckers are bad people more worried about themselves than anyone else. It's unfortunate because they really helped the country out a lot at one time. Now, unfortunately, too many people getting into trucking are trash. They can't even drive a truck properly, don't care about road etiquette, and just plain shouldn't be driving. There are still some old school drivers out there that are great folks. I miss those days back then.
I was a trucker for 40 years, ran 49 states and Canada for 10 years. Never helped a cop, but I once helped a woman who was parked in the chain-up area on an icy mountain pass, literally petrified with fear of the slick road. Drove her car over the pass for her, then hitch-hiked back to my rig.

There isn't. But the day they allowed criminals to sue people trying to stop them was the day people became paranoid about helping others.

Thank you!
Thank you!!

Just a pair of dumbartons helping without knowing who and for what reason they ar whelp helping

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Thats nice. Its nice to see random acts of kindness and frankly the good examples are refreshing.
Your right Amanda the world needs more people like that
Everybody needs a little help sometimes, being that helper is a reward within itself.
Brave men! Thanks for helping.
Kudos to the officer and those truckers! Bless them!
Thank you truckers!! Respect
