A North Carolina family expressed gratitude for state law enforcement after a fortunate encounter with a state trooper on a Johnston County highway in July.

Monica Hines, her four children, and her partner were left stranded on the highway after a rear tire blew on their car. They had been driving to Duke Hospital in Durham, as Hines wrote in a Facebook post, according to WBTV.
