Truck driver Tom Meyer was the first one on the scene after a car crash that seriously injured 29-year-old Miriam Almaguer and destroyed her car.
He decided to take action in order to prevent the scene from getting any worse. The first thought that came to his head was to block off oncoming traffic so he parked his rig horizontally, barricading I-80 eastbound lanes.
Amazingly, Tom wasn’t even going to be in the area, as he planned on stopping at a Love’s truck stop a few exits earlier but decided to keep going instead.
Meyer called police who were able to transport the woman to the hospital.
