Best of FPF: To the Guy in the Truck

Posted on Friday, February 21, 2025 by Comments are off for this post

Bridget shared this harrowing tale in their Winooski Forum. We thought it was well worth a share:

“Couple Saturdays ago, I was out walking, and somehow tripped and fell on the street — broke my wrist, and banged myself up pretty good. I was a couple blocks from home, and thought I could make it, but when I started getting light headed, we went to plan B. My partner flagged down the first vehicle she saw, and asked for help.

This is one reason why I love this city: the guy driving the pickup she stopped immediately jumped out and helped me into the truck — got me home safe and sound. Thank you so much, guy in the truck! I didn’t get his name, but I know he had just been ice fishing, and mentioned visiting his sister here in Winooski. I hope sometime I get to pay back this kindness.”
