LTI, Inc. Driver Josh Smith was on the road in Caldwell, ID when a pickup truck sped past him on the left. He watched in disbelief as the truck returned to the right lane, overcorrected to the left and flipped. It slid across the highway through a fence and came to rest on the passenger side. Josh immediately stopped, called 911, stepped outside the cab with a flashlight, and approached the vehicle to help. "The driver was on his knees resting against the passenger door and could not exit the vehicle," he says. "I told him to turn his head to the back while I broke the windshield with my flashlight. I got enough space to pry it open and get him out." According to Ken Becker, Josh’s Supervisor, the police arrived on scene, took a statement from Josh and let him go. "We are very proud of Josh’s quick actions to save the driver’s life and secure the scene," he says.
