MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Tennessee 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 in Memphis.
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.
