Have to get this off my chest

This happened to be a few years ago and I have never gotten a chance to say thank you to the guys who risked getting injured to help me.

I (32 F) was in a yellow mustang and my car suddenly died. This was in extremely hot weather July/August. I was stuck in the middle lane on 610 near 69. I could see the community college from the highway. I was afraid to get out, had my emergency lights on.

Called roadside assistance and they told me nothing they could do while I was the middle of the highway. I had to be on the shoulder for them to help. I called police and they said they would come.

Suddenly an older extended pickup truck with a bunch of Hispanic guys in the bed pulled in front of me and the guys jumped out of the extended cab and bed. A white semi truck driver honked his horn, pulled up next to me and blocked the two lanes next to me. One of the guys in the pickup told me to put my car in neutral and they pushed my car to the shoulder as the their driver stayed in front to the left of me with his emergency lights on. I assume to keep his friends from getting hit by a car trying to pass. The semi driver kept his vehicle behind me as he kept the guys from getting run over by blocking traffic until we were on the shoulder.

He asked if I had anyone to help me. I said yes. Then they all took off so fast and I never got to say Thank You to all of them. I am ashamed I never said Thank you to them.

I’m amazed by the friendly and compassionate people in Houston. Especially the construction and truck drivers. Thank you all. Bless those men wherever they are. This all took maybe 5 minutes. It ended up being my bad alternator. I live in San Antonio, never forgotten the kind, hardworking men that helped me.

I wasn’t on the book of faces back then. If this is the wrong place to post this, mods feel free to delete. I just always reminded that H town has really kind compassionate people in it. Police got there a little before the tow truck.

Why I’m posting now. I’ve realized how many times in my life I have had earth angels come through helping me of a bad situation. I really felt the need to thank them. Thank you to the people who stop to help someone in trouble, just because.
