A tractor-trailer driver spotted a car driving erratically on a busy Central Virginia highway last month and chose to put his own life in danger to save others on the road.
Corey Parker said he first noticed the Lexus sedan traveling recklessly from lane to lane in Ashland on June 21.
Parker feared the driver would crash into a car full of innocent people. So, he used his big rig to slow the vehicle to a stop against a jersey wall.“I went over to the driver, and I opened the door and that's when I saw everything in his lap,” he recalled. “He had Narcan pens in his lap.” Troopers on the scene noticed that both the driver and the passenger, a 28-year-old man from Richmond, were passed out and unresponsive. They immediately rendered aid, detectives said.
Hawkins was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, driving while being revoked DUI related and having a controlled substance. The passenger was charged with being in possession of a controlled substance and drunk in public.Parker knows firsthand how drugs can impact and takeover your life for the worse.
