Need help identifying a driver that saved my friend’s life https://houstonnewmedia.org/need-help-identifying-a-driver-that-saved-my-friends-life/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=need-help-identifying-a-driver-that-saved-my-friends-life Wed, 30 Sep 2020 15:50:18 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=61abd378c840b238466b1d8f6efba6e7

Looking for some major assistance in identifying a driver or vehicle that helped save my friend's life a couple weeks back.

https://abc13.com/traffic/inbound-sw-fwy-lanes-reopened-after-pickup-mangled-in-crash/6425853/

For those that were in the area, you may remember this huge accident and back-up on Wednesday, September 16th. My friend was the one in the pick-up truck that was terribly damaged and resulted in him being rescued by the jaws of life. A Good Samaritan helped him by holding his lung in place, comforting and praying with him while they waited for help to arrive. If it wasn't for this person's help, my friend might not be alive today.

In the video, there's a black SUV parked under the bridge. We're working to enhance it as best as possible to learn more about the vehicle but wanted to reach out to this group first, just in case. It looks to be a Ford SUV, maybe an Expedition or Explorer. The person driving this vehicle is the one that helped save my friend's life but didn't leave a name, statement or the like.

I'm helping with this research on behalf of my friend's wife and can share her contact info if someone here has good information as to this individual. I know some of this information may be sensitive, so please feel free to DM to keep it private if need be.

So if you were in this area and have details about the person, maybe through an acquaintance (or maybe it's you) or you were in the area and might have good video of the scene, please feel free to reach out so we can work from there.

Thank you.

Edit: We know his name is Tim, but that's it for now.
