Courageous rescue in Utah.(THE GOODNESS OF AMERICA)
One morning last November, Bob and Ann Turner left their home in Ogden, Utah, with their four-year-old granddaughter, Meleah, on a trip to purchase coal near the town of Huntington, two and a half hours southward.
After topping off their truck's gas tank and loading their large trailer with coal, the Turners headed home. The shortest route back took them on a steep road, with an eight-percent grade, which wound downward several hundred feet in a series of hairpin turns. The road featured a canyon on the left and a mountain on the right.
Bob geared down, but the transmission would not hold the vehicle back. He used the brakes to no avail, and the truck gained speed. Realizing that he would not be able to make the next turn without plummeting over the edge of the canyon, Bob knew the only alternative was to drive up the side of the mountain. He made sure that Ann and Meleah were buckled in, and Meleah was instructed to lay across a pillow and cover herself with a blanket.
Bob drove off the road and up the side of the mountain, while they all prayed. They came to a stop so suddenly that glass and coal were strewn throughout the cab. Ann called 911 and the Summit County Dispatch was alerted to the accident.
