A family have extended their heartfelt thanks to a group of strangers who stopped to help their son following a car accident near Blue Mountain on the Peak Downs Highway last Tuesday.
The good samaritans pulled over to assist the son and stayed with him until emergency services arrived. They kept the family updated by phone, providing reassurance during an incredibly difficult time when they couldn’t be there themselves.
The family said they were overwhelmed by the generosity shown to their son, particularly when the people who stopped had no obligation to get involved.
“You didn't have to do any of that, but you did,” the post read.
“In the worst moment of our lives, you showed us the best of humanity.
“Because of you, our boy wasn't alone. We'll never forget it,” they wrote.
“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. If we ever cross paths, the beers are on us.”
