Dad suffered a medical emergency while pulling doubles, and the nine year old grabbed the wheel, steered the truck back into it's proper lane, and got on the radio to get help in stopping the truck. Kid deserves a big attaboy.

Now thats one smart kid. What a great story!
-
Pretty awesome story. Hats off to the kid for knowing what to do in a circumstance such as that. He kept his cool and took control.
(side note;I must admit I chuckled abit when I read the part about the boy smacking his dad asking him if he was okay. Sorry) -
Cool kid!!! Way to go!
-
that so cool and yes a very smart boy he sould get something for thinking so fast
-
hell, I #### near teared up readin' about his daddy callin' him his hero and when the kid said "I just did the stuff. I thought... I should just do what my Dad does." And all the kid wants is a Playstation!? Great job, Matty! And hats off to the Good Samaritan who finished bringing the truck to a halt.
