A truck driver forced a drunk driver off the road, then held him at gunpoint until officers arrived, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Officers were called to the scene on Sunday night after an erratic driver hit the wall of an overpass on the Will Rogers Turnpike in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and kept going.
By the time officers caught up with the driver, they found him being held at gunpoint by a trucker who witnessed his dangerous driving and forced him out of his vehicle.
The man was identified as 33-year-old Tyson Schunk of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
According to police reports, Schunk failed several field sobriety tests and blew a .19 and .18 on two breathalyzer tests, both significantly over the legal blood-alcohol limit.
The truck driver told officers that that he was forced to hold Schunk at gun point because he tried to run away.
According to KOTV, Schunk was arrested for DUI and trying to leave the scene of an accident. He was released after posting $2,000 bond.
Many commenters have praised the truck driver for his actions. One reader wrote “God Bless the Truck Driver!!!!!!!!!” on the KOTV Facebook page.
The name of the truck driver has not been released.
