Prado, from Lubbock, successfully persuaded the woman to stop her car and escorted her to safety.He filmed the entire encounter, which happened on Highway 183, between Seymour and Mabelle, and shared the footage on his Facebook page.Towards the end of the clip, he can be seen helping her out of the vehicle and leading her towards the passenger seat while offering to drive her to safety.Writing on Facebook, he said that another driver eventually helped him to block traffic while he helped the woman.“I drive 537 miles a day so I see many wild things on the road but absolutely nothing this terrifying!” he wrote.“I was passing through Stamford, Texas this morning when me and the 18wheeler beside both had to swerve from hitting this 94yr old women coming towards traffic on the highway. The methods I used probably weren’t (sic) the safest nor smartest.“Moral of this all is something I’ve said in my post before; look after your elderly family, friends, or neighbor! I’m no hero, I’m a sinner and mistake maker like you, but I saw the right thing to do and so can you! To all my driving brothers and sisters please be safe on that road and make it back to the finish line!” Credit: Thomas Prado via Storyful
