3.Driving to a ball game,Duane Innes saw a small truck ahead of him run across lanes of traffic,sideswipe(側(cè)撞) a concrete barrier and continue forward on the inside shoulder(路肩) at about 40 miles per hour.
Innes passed by the truck,and then looked back to see that the driver fell over the wheel.He knew a busy crossroads was just ahead,and he had to act fast.Without seeking the passengers' advice in his car,he said to himself, "There was no time to take a vote."
"If I could get in front of him and let him hit me,we could slow clown together," Innes explained.So he pulled in front of the truck,allowed it to hit his car and brought both vehicles safely to a stop in the pull-off lane.
Some might say the driver of the truck,80-year-old Bill Pace,might have run into bad luck that day.As a volunteer(志愿者) for Special Olympics,Pace didn't know it at the time,but he'd had a minor heart attack two days earlier and he passed out at the wheel.
State Farm,Pace's insurance company,covered about $ 3,500 in damage to Innes' car,and sent Innes a letter of thanks this summer.
"We wish to thank you for the action you took to save Bill's life," State Farm's Clayton Ande wrote. "State Farm and the Pace family consider you lo be a luminary.I wish there were more people like you in the world."
