Last week in Chicago, a semi truck overturned and a local lawmaker, State Senator Willie Preston, was on hand to assist in getting the driver out of the wrecked vehicle. The incident occurred at the intersection of 79th and Kedzie on Friday, August 11. In a video captured at the scene, Senator Preston can be seen using a tool to break the truck's windshield and then pulling it up to allow the driver inside to escape from the smoking vehicle.

Senator Preston's actions serve as a reminder of the importance of community involvement in times of crisis. Rather than simply recording incidents like this, it is important for individuals to take action and help those in need. By working together, we can help prevent incidents and minimize their impact when they do occur.

In addition to community involvement, it is also important for drivers to practice safe driving habits and for trucking companies to ensure that their vehicles are properly maintained and their drivers are trained and qualified to operate them safely. By taking these precautions, we can work towards reducing the number of accidents on our roads and keeping our communities safe.

Overall, it is crucial for everyone to remain vigilant while on the road and to take action when necessary to help prevent accidents and assist those in need. With responsible driving practices, community involvement, and proper precautions in place, we can work towards creating safer roads for everyone.
