“I’m sitting there in a daze, and I realize people are running to the truck,” Satanek told WPXI-TV.

He said that the other motorists didn’t appear to be concerned for their own safety.

“It was just like everyone knew in that moment we have to reach him, ‘Let’s lock into this and get this guy up.’ It was awesome,” Satanek told WTAE. “I decided I knew they had him, and I wanted to get a picture, I want to remember this.”

He said the driver was back on his feet in only a few minutes.

“It helped remind us that we are all people, and it is our responsibility to help other humans,” Satanek said.

“I don’t know any of their names, what their faces looked like. I can only say they made a terrible situation a little bit better by helping someone out that was really in need,” he said.
