TRUCKERS' STORY * USA - Local trucker hailed as a 'highway hero'
Gloucester,MA,USA -The Gloucester Daily Times, by All Hands -20 March 2010: -- A Gloucester trucker is among the finalists for the 27th annual Goodyear North America "Highway Hero" Award... Stephen Page, who works for Pit Bull Trucking, was driving along Interstate 80 near Clearfield, Pa., when he spotted a fire in the woods alongside the roadway, according to the award organizers... He and another driver stopped, then ran into the woods to find the burning wreckage of a double-unit rig that had gone nearly 1,500 feet off the highway... Upon reaching the driver of the truck, Page first believed the driver was dead — but then realized he had lost consciousness. With the cab getting hotter by the second, Page and the other driver struggled to remove the victim... Finally, with the help of two more truckers who had stopped, the injured driver was removed before the tractor and trailer were completely destroyed by fire...
