(KNUE-FM) We are so fortunate for all the truck drivers who are hauling loads all over Texas.

But there was one trucker that went above and beyond his normal job to make sure one Texas woman was safe during a flood.

Where Was This Flooding in Texas

Last week there was some wild weather that came through deep south Texas along the Rio Grande Valley.

The city of Pharr has a little over 80,000 people and not everyone was expecting or prepared for the huge amount of rain that came through the area.

The Woman was forced on top of the roof of her car.

Most of us would be scared beyond belief to be caught in extreme weather conditions where you’re trapped.

As you will see in the video below, one woman was forced to the top of her car after the flood water had risen so much.

One brave truck driver decided to take action and help the stranded driver.

How Did the Truck Driver Save the Stranded Woman?

The driver first gestures to let the woman know he is coming to save the day.

He pulls his truck in front of her vehicle and opens his own door which obviously put him in danger, but he didn’t care, he wanted to help that woman.

The trucker was then able to reach out and help the stranded woman into the cab of his truck.
