Editors note: The following is a letter to the editor from a Colorado Springs community member who was assisted after being involved in a car accident.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. To whom it may concern,

On May 21, 2022, the weekend of the snowstorm, I found myself in a car accident involving another driver off of Southgate Road. A Soldier saw the accident and pulled over to check if both parties were OK.

After the Soldier deemed both parties were uninjured, he helped move the vehicles out of traffic and off the snowy road. He helped both parties make sure a claim was filed and tow trucks were called. He stayed with me and the other driver until a tow truck showed up.

Once the tow truck loaded the other drivers vehicle, the helpful Soldier offered a ride to that driver and took him back to his home. After he dropped off that driver he went back to the scene and waited for another tow truck to load my vehicle, followed by offering me and my service dog a ride back to my home.

He also made my service dog feel completely safe and allowed her in his vehicle for the ride home. I failed to the get name of the Soldier who went above and beyond, and he deserves to be commended for his outstanding human behavior. Fort Carson along with the Army should feel proud to have him among the ranks.
