Harrowing Experience Eastern United States newspapers reported a harrowing
experience that occurred late one night on an abandoned stretch of interstate
highway.
A woman driving alone noticed in her rearview mirror an 18-wheeler truck barreling toward her with blinkers on as if to pass. But just as the giant rig pulled along side her window, she heard the whoosh of its air brakes as it suddenly pulled back behind her, its massive halogen headlights beaming into her car. |

Nervously adjusting her rearview mirror, she pressed the accelerator to pull away from the truck. Her anxiety heightened as the mighty diesel engines roared in response, enabling the truck to keep on her bumper, its headlights blinding into her car. She takes her foot off the accelerator, hoping he wants to still pass. But the air brakes whoosh again as the trucker keeps his rig pinned to her bumper.
Finally, she spots an exit sign. She nearly flies off the exit ramp and screeches into a gas station, with the trucker right behind. She runs toward the gas station, calling for an attendant.
Sometime in the night an unknown assailant had slipped into the woman's car, awaiting the moment when he might attack her. From his high vantage point, the passing trucker had seen her assailant hiding. The one who she feared and was running from was the one who could save her life. |

Now she panics. She slams down the accelerator in desperation
to flee the mad trucker. Her eyes desperately search for an exit
as the big rig roars and races on her bumper into the night.
The trucker leaps from his cab and runs for the woman. But when
he gets to her car, he stops, throws open her back door and pulls out a
man who had been hiding behind her seat.
