That fella was saved from just a few moments from his end.
As a trucker myself
Thanks for giving this man his life back from that frosty grave he most certainly would have had.
Guardian Angle on a 2stroke! damned right.
@@heywoodjablome4708 Bingo. An obtuse angle as well, if I had to speculate!
@@guppygb6078 He was a Right Angle! ehh..kek.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉He was his guardian Angel!!
Nice save! A couple of years ago, my granddaughter found a dog in a blizzard on that section of interstate. He's been living his best life ever since and his name is Doctor Strawberry!
God bless you!
Love hearing this more than I can say. Mighty blessings and extra angels on your path.
(Great doggo name!) ❤😂🍓🐕
I'm so glad she found him and took him in! Give her and Dr. Strawberry my love 💖💖

She had come home to attend the funeral of a dear friend and was on her way back to Colorado. They rescued eachother.
Jesus Christ loves you all so much God bless you all thank you our Lord and Savior God Jesus Christ The Holy Spirit i love you more than anything Amen
I'm happy that they found that gentleman. It's nice to know that there is still good hearted people.
There are so many good people in this world. Feeling the same way.
Paz y luz 💫 ❤
About 35 years ago my husband, son and myself were snowmobiling in a place called Wildcat Mountain (in Oregon) there was a man with his two kids who got lost, we were able to find them and get S&R back into the area where they were with our snowmobiles, it is something we will not forget and the feeling of helping someone and possibley saving their life is an amazing feeling.
So glad that man saw the overturned semi and was able to rescue and save that truckers life.
Thank you so much for helping ❤
A miracle that snow mobiler did not 'assume' that trucker had already been removed from tanker - a relief he and his kids decided to check it out closer.
That's crazy you said wildcat and I immediately started getting flashbacks. We grew up in the area and lived there awhile, still have friends and family there! Wildcat was always a go to spot lol. We always ran into people having troubles on the mountain, glad you were able to help!
@@ryliesholes1101 awesome!! Yes, it was a good place to go hang out! Haven't been up there in years.. Thanks for the shout out!
I can only imagine the relief the trucker felt, he was sure that was his last day.
And nobody report him missing
@sylviarivas741
He haul crude oil, loads at a collection tank, usually in the boonies, then back to a depot. All this is done alone, he's probably a contract driver, no set hours, paid by the load.
If no-one was expecting him at a certain time . . .
Damned lucky, that was a pretty bad wreck
I know the company. I've seen the truck and the tank. I've seen the guy before. He's doing good. He is back to 100%. It's difficult to report someone missing in this industry unless someone doesn't show up at their destination.
I'm a truck driver for a company in Utah and if conditions get that bad just stop ✋ don't drive more as a matter of fact don't go to work driving on the road if your aware of the storm it's a no go you are safe at home
Bless his heart, that was a miracle! To see the truck and not assume that the driver had already been rescued, to have the fortitude to go and investigate and then to have the means to get him up out of there, WOW! Thank God, that poor gentleman would not have lasted much longer and died all alone! Wonderful outcome for both men! There are still good people in the world!💕🙏🏼🇨🇦
absolutely my thougts to. To even go investigate. Most people would have just thought oh thats been dealt with just a poor truck left there until better weather. Such a wonderful perseverance and then was probably a shock to find someone in it and to just react like get him out of there! Wonderful story and ending for sure :)
Even though it doesn't sound as dramatic as a rescue from drowning or something, make no mistake - this truck guy probably would have died if this dude didn't show up. What a great man!
100% ! Doesn't need to be dramatic or "entertaining" to be powerful
Do you have awards for acts of bravery? That was a tough rescue to pull off. He definitely deserves one. The man’s family owe him a fantastic dinner too. He is extraordinary lucky to still be alive.
As a truck driver myself. thank you for saving a fellow driver. May God bless you again and again.
LOL! Wait, God as in the magic fairy known as Jesus??? 🤣🤣🤣
The world needs more videos like this. Way too much negativity and doom in the news nowadays. 👍
You only hear about the bad stuff.
That’s the point of the media. Doom and gloom is better for sales. Wholesomeness stories like this no so much. It’s unfortunate
The concept of "newsworthiness" in journalism often leans towards information that is noteworthy, relevant, or has an impact on the audience. Unfortunately, negative or alarming events tend to capture attention more effectively. This is not necessarily a reflection of a biased agenda but rather a recognition of human psychology - people are naturally drawn to information that evokes strong emotions or concerns. While positive and uplifting stories are important, the nature of news reporting often prioritizes events that are significant, impactful, or have implications for the community at large.
The frustrating aspect of it is that every time there is positive news like this, the comment section invariably includes at least one remark saying, "the world needs more videos like this. Way too much negativity in the news nowadays." It can become quite tiresome seeing this same comment repeatedly.
That facetime call is so great.
This is how we are all meant to be, not out looting, stealing from people and killing them. The world was meant for this rescuer.
We're supposed to love one another. ❤
This is how WE are as a people. We're not like other types. And they aren't like us. We have to accept that fact one day. We're different from the other 'types' of people.
@@Sercer25 I'm not understanding your comment. types of people??? explain more clearly please. thank you.
Why is the word types in quotes?
Who are you talking about?
@@josephdarchambault6264It's going to take a very long time, maybe never, for you to understand what I mean.
The younger generations know right away. We're not all equal.
A story of a nice guy and in today world there isn't many people who would care to help!
Sadly, they’d probably waste precious time recording instead. What a horrible time to be alive. However- people like this wonderful guy- give me hope.
Praise God! So happy he was there to help trucker!
Guardian angel 🙏 🫡
Hero for sure. There are still good people on earth.
My dad is a trucker for the company. The truck was the one that he drives every time. The truck had a crack in the windshield and my dad had still driven it the day before it flipped and the crack got bigger. If the crack hadn’t gotten bigger, the man who saved the driver would’ve had a harder time helping him. The oil spilled into the drivers area and started burning him pretty badly (as said in the video. Thanks to the man who saved him and the driver was in the hospital and is now okay. My dad came home about 10-20 minutes after I woke up, which was pretty unusual because I woke up at 9:00 and he got home 9:10-9:20 when he usually gets home at 12:00-1:00 and said his truck was wrecked. That same day, my sister was born. Thanks god for saving our family and having this man see the truck. If he didn’t that man could’ve been injured even worse or killed.
No kidding!
Yes, I wondered about how he was able to pull it out.❤
Wow, so glad it worked out like it did. Coincidence? I think not. ❤
What a wonderful rescue story - so glad he got saved
Human angles are put in the right places at the right times to work miracles. God Bless both men, the hero and the survivor. Happy New Year. Nice Video.
ANGELS.
I was definitely thinking the same thing. Our Guardian Angels use humans to intervene more than we realize ❤
Those triangles ❤
Good bless both men! Praise the Lord, because he was the one directing them.
God bless them both
Angel on earth. Such great news.
The weather can change so fast up there. So glad he survived! Bless you and Mr Mahoney!
That trucker has a purpose here on earth, and nothing was getting in the way! What a miraculous save from that amazing gentleman with his snowmobile. 🙏
Bless you guys for stopping and checking if anyone was in that truck cuz most people would of just kept driving by
A miracle!! Great job by the rescuer!! Glad the gentleman is recovering!! Blessings to all!!❤️❤️🙏🙏
Mahony your a Angel to this Man ❤️
As a 25 year truck driver I say thank you!
Is anyone else impressed with the truck not braking apart after that.
Really Wonderful Rescue Story - - He saved that mans life - no doubt.
Saved a life 👍
Wow... thank you God and thank you sir for being there. God bless you all ❤
The Lord put this man where he needed to be to save this trucker. Bless you for saving this man❤
These stories make me so proud of being an American. Thank you for being a true hero and an American.
Lucky trucker- great story- people at their best.
This is an amazing story! He definitely sent a HUGE message to his children who seen his dad so this amazing, kind act of service! They will always remember that ESP if they cross a point in their life when older that someone needs help!
That man was so lucky.
God bless you
A miracle! Thank you to the team of people that were involved keeping that trucker alive.
Am I my brother's keeper?
Best news story in too long.
A real Hero !!! Just an ordinary guy with a heart and soul as big as a house. The cavalry on a snowmobile.
Thank you Jesus for this wonderful man saving that wonderful trucker❤❤❤
Praises to our Gracioud Lord God ...for his tender mercies..
God sends His Angels .
Right on time..thank you Jesus
The Way maker...all Glory to GOD..Amen
He would have died buy God has plans for Him...hallelujah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank God for the rescue of the truck driver by this good man! Thank God the truck driver finally made it to a hospital and got help. My heart sunk when I saw the tanker at the bottom of that hill on its side. Our truckers are important to us all!
Made me tear up. So happy he found and saved that trucker.
Thank God for this man a lot of us wonder what our purpose is in life. This man knows.
❤
You are the very definition of a mensch. Thank you for saving a life!
What a marvelous story. The man is not only a hero, but a true super hero. It was fortunate he had the means to save the driver but he also had the spirit to do so. So many of us would have ignored what he saw. Glory to God!
Thank you for caring for your fellow man!😊
It's nice to be able to help someone. Means you're doing something really useful.
Glory and thank to God for He led this amazing man to His child !
Man I needed this heartwarming story today! Bless them all. And thank you for the uplifting news.
That was one lucky man to be found in time. He had an angel watching over him.
He deserves award 🥇
Love! Humans are so wonderful sometimes! Thank you for saving his life and inspiring us all!
❤️ Being in the right spot at the right time! Being Aware of the surroundings and then acting ❤️ This guy is a hero!
A true hero❤ His kids must be so proud of their dad.😊
I’m glad this guy got help and made it out safely. Seeing his truck though reminds me of the 100 or more times I’ve been tailgated or passed by these crude oil trucks near strawberry. They never do the speed limit. Oh, wait it’s Utah I forgot if it says 65 they really mean 75. Slow down, and driver responsibly.
Hey !
KSL, Voice of the West !
No TV here, just 1160.
(just a note for you, had a radio once, in a truck, pulled you in from Baltimore.
Directional capabilty is a wonderful thing...)
Sounds like their driving "style" hasn't changed much in the last 45 years then.
I ran those routes way back when and they drove like daredevils then too.
40+ years driving OTR,
3.2 million miles
Mostly safe - to My standards - must have been good enough; I am still alive and uninjured.
Although, a warning to the young -
give up jumping down off of docks,
out of, or off of, trailers, units, pallets - whatever...
Guaranteed, you will be looking at ugly knee troubles in later life.
Young days, five to 6 drop no problem.
Late days, knees and back compressed, neck jammed, shoulders jarred
Doesn't matter how "light" on your toes you think you are, you did not reduce weight times gravity by jumping.
Think about it.
Envision ahead of things to come.
Anyhow...
Hero's there not be
Stead those willing
to put others
ahead of self.
KSL if you're listening -
Waving a frosty hand from just up the street in Anaconda.
crazy drivers today ?
There is about to be several million more added that have no idea of the road rules here, let alone the language that the road signs are written in or the language of the officer that just stopped them for whatever.
There is a very ugly wave of incarnate evil about to be unleashed upon the highways and byways and citizens of this entire nation very shortly.
No end in sight. 20 million more to come - already approaching...
Look for CDL "mills" to start popping up everywhere.
Local leo forces in the streets with traffic and CMV DOT troops will be overrun at the scales.
No doomsayer stuff, reality nearing.
Many new coming, were truck drivers where they came from.
They will seek similar employ here.
The "tentacles" of the dilemma begin to appear, many in number are they.
Used truck lots will be emptied nationwide putting the junk that We wore through, back onto our streets and roads.
Bearings and huckbolts worn through,
shackles ground down,
zircs run dry for years,
tires of transparency,
wrecks cleaned but still with frame, axles and wheels bent.
Hundreds of thousands of used trailers. Lots full everywhere.
All for one is how they pay each and every pay day.
Payday from labor of what, where and when ?
How to work when bossman face penalty for hire ?
Trucking MUST go on or We all will starve within a month.
Deny this tidbit and We will pay dearly.
Pile ups:
lack of communication
language barriers,
state/fed design, signage and maintenance responsibilities,
lack of training and instruction,
certain "regulations" (H.O.S.)
The list goes on...
Tentacles grow tentacles.
What a great catch. Eagle eyes.
Awesome ending to a very sad story there was definitely a guardian angel watching over the truck driver. God bless you both 🙏🏼
God bless both of them, especially Tyler.Mahoney. For being a selfless and courageous person. I don't think most people would have done anything, except call 911.
Just reminder we are our brothers keeper. One day that person wrecked in the snow might be us.
Love me Some Snowmobile ❤❤❤❤You both are Blessed.
Thank God he saw the semi and was able to help!
I want to move to Utah omg these people
If you’re from California, please don’t come.❤
Lovely story. We need more of these. This is what life is all about
That rescue was amazing all around! One of those being at the right place at the right time. ❤❤❤
Oh my gosh what a wonderful save. What a horrible situation and just fantastic that there was persistance to even go to the truck to see if anyone was still in it. Love this :)
Thank God you found him!
God bless these men, first responders and all who helped him. God bless the victim.
This us great. Praise God he put the right person in the right place at the right time.
Way to go man this is why I love snowmobiles!
Oh wow. Wanting to go to sleep is literally moments from death from hypothermia. So glad he was found by someone who was actually able to rescue him in time.
God bless the gentleman with the snowmobile! Thankful the trucker of going to be okay.
Awesome save!! The right man found that guy!!
Glad hes ok and thank goodness for that man
There is no doubt here he did save his life. He stated the man was so cold for so long he was beyond the shivering zone. When that happened your body is shutting down. Muscles aren't working. Blood flow is direly slow. Pressure dropping fast. Shivering is muscle spasms trying to produce heat to keep warm. Another hour alone and he would have been gone. So thankful that guy found him and saved him! Media needs more of this.
God bless you both,
And everyone who helped.
Crazy snow storms through Utah, been there done that.
Thank God everyone is okay
God bless you brother ❤ from South Africa.
We need more news stories like this. Spreading a positive messages, not stirring the pot on some controversy! As a former Truck Driver and the survivor of a Rollover accident I tip my hat to both Men.
Awesome Story!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Are A Hero.
Mate I wish the world had more men like you 😊 God bless you.
There are heroes around us sometimes and we don't even know it. 😁🌼😁Sometimes a hero doesn't even know he's going to be a hero! GREAT RESCUE! MORE THAN GREAT! PHENOMENAL! 👍👍👍
God bless him. What a hero!
True hero! God Bless 🙏 🙏 these men!
God bless good people that are willing to help
That is God working thru that man. ❤
Great story. Lucky chance to be there and see it
God bless both men ❤ ❤
You sir are that mans guardian angel. without you it would have been a different story.
Real Americans. I love them. GOOD MAN!
Good Job Buddy❤God Bless Yall
Thanks for sharing a good story with a good out come!
What a great hero story!! Warms my heart, too❤❤
Thank you thank you thank you 😀🥰
Wow. Warms my heart.
THANK YOU!!! 🎉👏♥️
What a blessing
Several years back, I just happened to catch a glimpse of something in the woods, down a hill. Turned around, and found an elderly woman had veered off the road after mis-negotiating the turn in the road. How she managed not to hit a single tree going down the hill was truly amazing. She wasn't in a dire state, but was simply sitting in her car, not knowing what to do. After making sure she was fine, I called 911, stuck around until emergency services showed up, to take it from there.
God bless you, sir.
Job well done sir!
Tears… 😢felt the emotions
