Read Road Terror:
The truck filled her rearview mirror as it
roared up to her bumper once more. She was
terrified. What she had thought was only her
imagination was now only too real. She was being
chased. The woman floored the accelerator and
picked up speed, but the truck went into a
higher gear and closed the gap again.
An exit was coming up. She darted onto it in
a bid to escape, but the truck lurched off the
highway after her. Still, she hoped to lose it
in the middle of small town traffic. She
rocketed through a yellow light, just as it was
changing. Maybe that would buy a few precious
moments—enough to find a police station. But it
was not to be. The diesel charged through the
red light after her, like an angry dinosaur. In
an act of desperation, she pulled into a gas
station, nearly hysterical. The truck lumbered
in next to her and the driver got out, running
toward her car. But he ignored her, going to the
rear of her car where he opened the door and
pulled a man out who was hiding in the back.
It was not until later that the woman was to
find out the full story. From the truck driver’s
elevated vantage point, he had seen down into
her car, where it appeared a man was hiding. The
trucker grew suspicious when the female driver
did not seem to know the man was there. That was
when the chase had begun. The woman, completely
unaware of a would-be rapist hidden in the back
of the car, had attempted to flee the trucker,
whose only intention was to save her.
