While touring the countryside looking for the perfect “snow” photo yesterday, we happened across an unfortunate motorist who had slid off the road into a deep drainage depression.
It was a miracle the car did not flip over, as the drop from the road was significant. But luckily, all four wheels were still on the ground.
The driver, although very badly shaken, was unharmed. And the car was not damaged. The only real problem was getting the car back on the road!
I guess we could have called a wrecker, but several passers-by had stopped, and we instinctively got behind the car, instructed the driver to gently tough the accelerator, and we all pushed together and moved the car forward through the ditch until we came to a cross street.
No one said much during the rescue effort, other that ‘push” but by working together as a team we made a tough job easy, and the relieved driver was on her way!
It’s amazing what can be accomplished when individuals unite together for a common purpose.
And when the job is done, it feels pretty good!
