Kurt to the rescue...again

For the third time this summer Kurt has been confronted with a public safety/emergency event right in front of his Big Red Truck.
In June he was the first vehicle to stop following a roll-over accident on the LA freeway. In that one he used his fire extinquisher to put out the flames on the car and then with 2 others he helped free the driver from the overtuned car.
This morning we encountered a wildly veering car infront of us on I-76, 60 miles from Denver. This is the second time we have come up behind an impaired driver. The last time, in July in PA, our truck formed a rolling blockade with 2 other trucks that kept everyone else on the freeway behind us for 15 miles until the state patrol arrived and pulled over the careening driver.
This morning we were the only truck around and we followed this sedan for 20 miles as it swerved from shoulder to shoulder narrowly missing obstacles and the few other vehicles that tried to pass it. We were of course on the phone with 911 but no officer was in the vicinity. I cannot tell you how intense it is to follow a car and watch it go out of control time and time again and not be able to do anthing but watch helplesssly, fearing at any moment you are going to see somebody get hurt or killed. As it finally turned out, the driver went off into a ditch, almost rolled but managed to pop back on the highway and rolled to a stop on the white line. Kurt took that opportunity to pull alongside the car and block him in with the trailer. That left us sitting in the driving lane- but it kept this driver from doing anymore harm to himself or others. The driver was out-of-it enough that Kurt walked back and was able to talk him into giving up his keys. We remained on the road until the state patrol finally arrived....and it was an hour later before our hearts finally calmed down.
