Mark Randall, driving for Werner Enterprises, averted a likely highway tragedy when a motorcyclist crashed in front of him.

He was recognized for his actions by the Truckload Carriers Association, which named him a Highway Angel, and by Overdrive magazine, which named him a Knight of the Road.

Randall tells his story in this video, illustrated by Don Lomax.
