Washington maintenance worker Jerry Bennett was on a routine patrol on State Route 410 a few miles west of Whistlin’ Jack Lodge near Chinook Pass when he spotted some trees down.
He pushed the trees off the shoulder using the plow on his truck, then hopped out to toss the remaining debris safely away from the road.
Bennett then noticed a car buried in the forest off the highway. He heard a woman yelling for help. Bennett climbed down the hill and found the woman wet, cold, and with some minor injuries. With no cell phone service, the woman was stranded overnight hoping someone might drive by.
