TRUCKER HERO * USA - ESPN to feature heroic trucker’s story at bowl game
Alexandria,VA,USA -The Trucker News Services -24 Dec 2008: -- On Dec. 30, millions of people who would not otherwise be familiar with the good deeds performed by the industry’s professional truck drivers will hear about one very special professional driver who bravely plunged into freezing cold water to pull a victim to safety, despite a wind chill factor of 20 below zero... Truckload Carriers Association’s (TCA) first learned about Roach when one of his customers nominated him as a Highway Angel for an incident that took place along I-94 near South Bend, Ind. Roach was driving along his regular truck route at 5 a.m. when he noticed the headlights of the car in front of him suddenly disappeared... Stopping to investigate, Roach found that the car had hit a patch of black ice and was now lying upside down in a water-filled ditch. Braving a wind chill factor of -20, he plunged into the icy water up to his neck, extracted the driver, and carried him up a hill to his warm cab, where together they waited for almost two hours before emergency personnel arrived. After he dried out and made sure the accident victim was safely on his way to the hospital, Roach simply continued on his route as usual, thinking what he had done was “no big deal”... Leonard T. “Lenny” Roach, a professional truck driver for Unisource of Addison, Ill., a professional truck driver for more than 30 years, continues to state he was “just doing what was right.” But both TCA and Roady’s Truck Stops say they believe he is a shining example of how to humanize the trucking industry, helping to improve its image with the general public and providing current or would-be professional truck drivers with the kind of recognition that helps carriers boost driver retention and morale...
