May 5, 2003 - 8:50am - Unit #12 was driving eastbound on I-64 in Ladue when we saw a three car accident in the left lane. 12 was in the middle lane and going 50mph so he couldn't stop in time. He saw shattered glass all over the road so he called 911 and notified the police about the accident. He then called MODOT and notified them about the accident so they could send one of their emergency services motorist assist trucks to the scene.

May 8, 2003 - 8:15pm - Unit #02 and 65 stopped to assist two cars on the exit ramp from southbound I-55 onto Meramec Bottom Rd. One car was turned around to jump start the other when 02 and 65 arrived. 02 walked up to the driver and he told 02 they just got the car going and were about to leave. 65 pulled out and blocked the exit ramp with his lights on while the wrong way facing car turned around and continued on his way.

May 8, 2003 - 9:00pm - Unit #65 stopped to check on a motorist on northbound I-270 just south of Highway 30. The driver told 65 he needed to just let the engine cool awhile and he would be able to start it again in about 30 minutes. 65 decided to wait behind the motorist with his lights on because there was a narrow should where the driver had stopped and a blind curve behind him. 65 called unit #220 over the radio to come and assist. 220 arrived about ten minutes later and stopped about 100 yards behind 65 with his lights on and gave traffic advanced warning to slow down as they came around the curve. After awhile, the driver was able to start the truck and he was on his way.

May 8, 2003 - 10:00pm - Unit #65 and 220 stopped to assist a motorist on southbound I-270 just north of Big Bend Rd. The driver told 65 he had a friend on the way to help him. 65 and 220 waited behind the driver until his friend arrived about five minutes later in a truck. They hooked a tow cable up to the car and towed the car away.

May 23, 2003 - 11:40pm - Unit #220 attempted to assist a motorist out of fuel on I-55 north of mile marker 41 in Illinois. Illinois State Police had already checked the vehicle and had taken the driver's husband to a nearby gas station. Unit 220 stayed with the vehicle until they returned.

May 24, 2003 - 8:25pm - Unit #220 heard conflicting reports of a jack-knifed tractor trailer in the vicinity of mile marker 188 on eastbound I-70. 220 was in the area and checked with truck drivers on CB Channel 19 for clarity. He found that the accident was on the eastbound side but at the 185 instead. 220 found the accident with a MSHP trooper just seconds behind him. 220 kicked on his lights and slowed down but since the Trooper was behind him he kept driving west past the accident to an area where he could turn around. 220 turned around in the median between the 185 & 188 mm and headed east. 220 stopped his truck within 20 feet of the rig and pulled out his reflective cones. Three Montgomery County Sheriffs Deputies came about 45 secs after and another MSHP Trooper was on scene about 3 minutes later. Jonesburg Fire Department came out but there was nothing they could do (even though the rig had a diesel fuel spill) and so they left after 15 minutes. 220 stayed at the scene until 10:00pm and the MSHP Trooper thanked him for coming out and assisting.

May 24, 2003 - 11:00pm - Unit #220 assisted a stranded motorist with a flat tire on I-64 east of Spoede Rd. Two minutes later a vehicle hydroplaned around 220's vehicle and the vehicle he was assisting, skidded off the road, and went into an enbankment about 100 yards further east. Unit 220 called Frontenac Police, alerted them of the accident and checked on the driver. No ambulance was needed.

May 25, 2003 - 12:20pm - Unit #220 assisted a motorist who had accidently locked his keys in the car when he went to check on vehicle noises coming from the rear. A friend came by 20 minutes later with the spare keys and the motorist left the scene.

May 25, 2003 - 2:35pm - Unit #220 assisted a stranded motorist on I-64 at the north/south split to I-270. The driver lost his transmission and the truck had to be parked at the split because there wasn't enough shoulder. 220 gave the driver his list of tow truck companies but there was no luck in finding someone to come out. He then contacted Town & Country Police to inform them that the truck would be parked for a while. The motorist thanked 220 for stopping.

May 26, 2003 - 9:30pm - Unit #220 stopped for a stranded motorist on I-270 south of Clayton Rd. The driver was out of gas and Town & Country Police took him to a nearby service station down the road. 220 waited for them to return and helped by waving traffic away from the shoulder for the driver's own protection. The police officer thanked 220 for the assist.

May 28, 2003 - 8:30pm - Unit #220 heard a report of a stranded motorist on I-64 at the Spoede Rd exit and went to investigate. Frontenac Police were on the scene at about the same time 220 showed up. The motorist was moving from Wyoming and heading to Florida when the vehicle overheated. 220 checked the radiator for proper fluid levels and offered some anti-freeze because the level appeared low. Since there wasn't any acceptable lodging or repair shops open along I-64 between this location and downtown for the remainder of the night, 220 offered to follow the driver to Illinois to an area where both problems could be dealt with by the next morning. 220 followed the driver to McKnight Rd. when the problem with the radiator resurfaced again. 220 suggested that the driver follow him to Brentwood Blvd to Dobb's Auto. The driver followed and drove over there but he still had one final problem; finding a place to stay for the night. 220 then offered the use of his cell phone to the female driver so that she could call whomever she needed to find a place to stay. Unknowing to 220, the driver had contacts within the Mormon Church so she contacted the local diocese here in St. Louis and they got her in touch with someone that could help them out. The driver thanked 220 for his assistance and gave him her business card.

May 30, 2003 - 11:40pm - Unit #220 was on his way home when he spotted a stranded motorist on the on-ramp from I-64 to I-270 southbound. The driver had a flat tire on the passenger side of the vehicle and could not undo one of the lug nuts with his tire iron. 220 went to his truck and pulled out his 4-way tire iron for the man and hoped it would do the job. The lug nut was freed and within a few more minutes the driver was on his way home.

May 31, 2003 - 12:20am - Unit #220 was still on his way home when he noticed a stranded motorist near the entrance to his exit. 220 got out of his truck and went to see what the trouble was. The owner stated that he had just filled up with gas and somehow the carbuerator got flooded while he was driving. 220 waited in his vehicle behind him with his lights on until the driver got the vehicle started and drove off.
