     Two truck drivers didn't know each other when they arrived at the scene of a bad traffic accident on
Kentucky's mountain highway last June. Yet they worked together like long-time partners and saved two
drivers from near certain death. For their bravery, Terry and Floyd have been named Goodyear North
America Highway Heroes for 2003. The award was announced on Thursday at the Mid-America Trucking
Show. Terry and Floyd were rewarded $20,000 with a free trip to Nashville.
     On June 22, Terry and Floyd, driving trucks separately, came across an accident involving a jeep and a
car on mountain parkway. The quick-thinking men broke the back window of the upside-down jeep, freed
the driver from his seat belt, and dragged him to safety. But the driver of the car was made unable to move
with a lot of weight on him inside the car, and the fire from the jeep was spreading dangerously close.
     "The paint was melting (融化) on the car; it was so hot," recalled Floyd.
     Terry and Floyd fastened a nylon strap (带子) between Floyd's truck and the car in an effort to pull it
away from the burning jeep. The first two failed. On the third try, the strap held and Floyd pulled the car to
safety. Soon afterward, the fire reached the jeep's gas tank, creating a fireball that took in the area where the
car had been located.
     When rescue people arrived, Floyd, an experienced technician (技师), used the Jaws-of-Life to free the
car driver.
