Good Samaritans in Abbotsford

With several cars spinning out around me on the Whatcom Road hill, I was forced to the curb and stuck – waiting to be hit by one of the many fishtailing vehicles.

In blizzard conditions and -20 C temperatures, a Good Samaritan approached my window and offered to help.

He had a few people join him, thinking they could push me up the hill but we quickly realized that wouldn’t be possible.

He said he would stop traffic so I could back down the hill, even putting himself in jeopardy.

I managed to go in reverse down Whatcom Hill but never got to say thank you.

I noticed many other cars in the same situation and the Good Samaritans were helping them as well.

Thank you so much.
