It was midnight on an icy Missouri highway when Springfield, Mo. road driver Tom McHaffie came upon an accident. A van had lost control on the ice and was overturned in the median. Tom parked his unit on the roadside and crossed the highway to see if he could help. A woman, two children and their puppy were trapped inside. Tom was able to get them out of the van through the windshield which had been knocked out in the accident., He got some blankets and a jacket to keep them warm, called for help and stayed with them until a highway trooper arrived.
