Woman searching for good Samaritan who pulled daughter from bad crash

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis mom is asking for the public’s help finding the good Samaritan who pulled her daughter from a bad wreck at I-240 and Sam Cooper Boulevard.

Julia Quinn said her 25-year-old daughter lost control of her SUV on the wet roadway Monday afternoon as she took the off-ramp at Sam Cooper. She slammed into some guardrails, and nearly went down an embankment.

She said a man in a black pickup truck who witnessed the crash pulled her daughter out of her vehicle to safety.

“She was spinning and hitting and spinning. I think her door was jammed,” said Quinn. “The guy got her out. He said you’ve got to get out because if someone slides into you, you’re going to go down the hill because she was like inches away.”

Quinn said the man stayed with his daughter for about an hour until she arrived on the scene.

When she was on the phone with her daughter, she could hear the man talking to her in the background, making sure she was okay.

“Whoever he was, he ended up staying with her the whole time,” Quinn said. “She told me that he was like, you know if it were my daughter, I would want somebody there for her. That’s why he was staying. I didn’t realize all this had happened until after.”
