About a year and half after the SAIA Motor Freight driver saved the life of Herman Langford, a truck driver from Leesburg, Ga., from the cab of his burning rig, he came upon an accident on U.S. Interstate 10 near Lake City, Fla., in which an entire family perished... Herman was hauling a load of cooking batter for Sexton Farms Trucking northbound on I-85 on Aug. 25, 2005, when a southbound tractor-trailer crossed the grassy median and struck his truck head on. Langford’s truck was down in the ditch and on fire when Crawford grabbed him and pulled him out of the burning truck. Moments later, the truck exploded... Crawford said. “No doubt saving his life has changed mine. It made me realize that life can slip by so quick”... (Photo: Doug Crawford’s Still Committed to Helping Others on the Road)
