Stop That Truck

It was nearly 2 AM when a team of firefighters and paramedics in Orange County, CA, went to drop a patient off at the local hospital late last month.
- In the few minutes their truck was left unattended, a man jumped in the driver's seat and drove away, beginning an hour-long police chase to retrieve the vehicle.
🚒 An unexpected hero... Eventually, Richard Lynn, a homeless man who saw the drama unfold, ran out into the street to block the vehicle's path.
- The truck came to a stop, and Richard and the driver spoke through the windshield for more than 20 minutes. Finally, he stepped peacefully out of the vehicle and surrendered.
One witness explained that all Richard wanted was for the driver to be okay: "[He] kept telling him, 'please get out of the truck. We don't want to hurt you,' and finally, the guy opened the door and surrendered peacefully."
