​Professional Truck Driver Helps to Save Unresponsive Driver

ALEXANDRIA, VA…David Miller, of Palatka, Florida, a professional truck driver for Celadon Trucking of Indianapolis, Indiana, has been named a Highway Angel by the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA). He is being recognized for performing CPR on an unresponsive driver.

On January 25, David was at a Pilot Travel Center in Kingston Springs, Tennessee, when he saw a man fall to the floor, unresponsive. He quickly raced over and performed a sternum rub to see if the man would respond. After receiving no response, David began performing CPR until emergency medical services arrived, helping to save the man's life.

For his willingness to assist his fellow driver, TCA has presented David with a certificate, patches, a lapel pin, and truck decals. Celadon Trucking also received a certificate acknowledging David Miller as a Highway Angel.

Since the program's inception in August 1997, hundreds of drivers have been recognized as Highway Angels for the exemplary kindness, courtesy, and courage they have displayed while on the job.
