AWARD * USA - Police Officer Credits Actions of Goodyear Highway Hero For Sparing Him From Serious Harm or Death
Akron,OH,USA -Truck Net, by Craig Zwiener- November 18, 2008: -- Officer Lou Gregoire of the Gwinnett County Police Department believes the actions of truck drivers, like David Zorn, make them more of a hero... Back in 2000, Zorn was driving an 18-wheeler, he stopped his truck when he witnessed Gregoire being attacked on the shoulder of U.S. Interstate 85 in Norcross, Ga., on the outskirts of Atlanta. Gregoire’s attacker had him pinned on the ground, but when he saw the 6-foot, 2-inch, 250-pound truck driver coming at him brandishing a large flashlight, he fled. Seeing the attacker had no weapon, Zorn pursued, caught and held him on the ground until other police officers arrived... Zorn, who is now working as a regional driver for Yellow Transportation, still has a hard time seeing himself as a hero. Rather he looks at himself as someone who was angry that no one else would stop to help a police officer in trouble...Labels: truckers' awards
