Dear Editor,
It is such a good feeling to know that we do have some Good Samaritans in our community.
My husband and I were driving westbound on Westminster Highway on Oct. 19 at about 2:15 pm.
Our traffic light turned green in the intersection of No. 4 Road but no cars were moving forward in our lane.
We realized that a car had stalled as we could see the cars ahead of us were trying to manoeuver out of our lane, swerving either to the left or to the right to drive forward.
Good Samaritans came from the Sierra Waste truck which was going southbound but was stopped with a red light on No. 4 Road.
I saw three men getting down from the truck and run across No. 4 Road towards the stalled Lexus vehicle.
They pushed the car out of the way, pushing it north towards the dirt road on No. 4 Road.
Then they went back into the Sierra Waste truck, the traffic light turned green and they drove off.
It was also very nice to see that the other drivers stopped and waited patiently for the Good Samaritans to push the car off the road.
Thank you to these Good Samaritans who helped prevent a possible accident and a huge traffic jam on what was a very busy street.
