“I have a friend at work who traveled from NC to New York every month for cancer treatments. A few months ago, she broke down on the interstate in NC, and a really awesome State Trooper helped her out big time! Here’s what she said:
‘On my way back from chemotherapy treatment in NYC on Sunday, my car broke down just an hour outside Wilmington. Roadside assistance couldn’t find a tow truck company open in that area—small towns in the South on a Sunday, you know? They told me to call 911.
Trooper Garganus came to the rescue! He put water in my car and followed me for 5 miles to a gas station, but the pump was completely dry again. He filled it up again and noticed the overflow connection was cracked. He even handmade a part to fix my coolant pump just enough for me to get back to Wilmington.
My phone battery died, and he charged my phone in his car and gave me a portable charger he had never used so I could call for help if I got stuck again. He followed me for another 20 miles to make sure I was okay. He spent about an hour and a half with me, making sure I was alright.’
