HENRY COUNTY: About 9:00 PM a vehicle was traveling west on Highway 10 from Shorterville towards Abbeville. They lone female driver came up on a tree in the road and she suddenly went to the right off the roadway in the ditch.
Behind her was off duty Dothan Fireman – Headland Fire – Rescue, volunteer with Columbia Fire – Rescue Ethan Wilkerson and some friends.
Ethan and friends jumped out of the truck and into the ditch and checked on the lady. They helped her from the vehicle and made sure she was ok. They called for Henry County Sheriff Deputies and Abbeville Rescue.
Ethan got his chainsaw out and cut the tree from the roadway.
Abbeville Police, Henry CountySheriff Department, ALEA Trooper Aaron Sanders and Abbeville Rescue responded.
The lady was shook up but not injured.
THANK YOU to Ethan and friends for putting someone else before self. If they had not been behind her there is no telling how long she would have been there because you could not see the vehicle from the roadway.
