* Passerby prevents truck disasterAucklandAuckland,NZ -Stuff -15 January 2008: -- A long-haul tandem trailer unit jack-knifed and blocked State Highway One for a short time between Orewa and Hatfield’s Beach last Wednesday... The unit was travelling north when the accident happened near Hillcrest Rd... The driver appeared to be having medical problems, police say... Onlookers say the truck started rolling backwards, and a passerby jumped through the window and applied the trailer brake, which caused the truck to jack-knife... “That guy is the hero. If he hadn’t of done that God only knows where the truck would have ended up and how many people and cars it would have taken with it,” says resident Willie Hewitt...
