Goodyear, which recently named its 34th Highway Hero Award winner during the 2017 Mid-America Trucking Show, is accepting nominations for its next Highway Hero Award recipient at www.goodyeartrucktires.com.
The Goodyear Highway Hero Award was established in 1983 to honor professional truck drivers who put themselves in harm’s way to help others.
This year’s Highway Hero Award winner, David Webb, a driver from Billings, Mont., stopped an out-of-control dump truck and performed CPR on its unconscious driver.
Past Goodyear Highway Hero Award winners include a truck driver who saved a law enforcement officer from being strangled by a prisoner he was transporting, a driver who rescued a woman from a gun-wielding attacker and others.
