Peter Dick, HGV Driver Logistics East Anglia, is the winner for June for responding to a cry for help by a member of the public, by stepping in to save her from potential harm.

Peter left Wangford quarry on route for his next delivery. As he exited the quarry he encountered a local on a bike. They stopped for a brief chat and the local told Peter there was a lady further up the road on a bike and he should be careful. Peter continued his journey keeping an eye out for the lady but there was no sign of her anywhere.

He suddenly heard cries for help so stopped his truck to see what was happening. The lady in question was down a bank and stuck in mud up to her knees.  Peter donned a face mask and gloves and descended the bank to assist her. She was shaking and unable to move her legs.  Peter tried to calm her and asked her to grab his wrists and he would attempt to free her, but she was stuck too firmly to be pulled out this way.

Peter then asked her to put her arms around his neck and he would put his arms around her and drag her out. This worked and Peter got her to the bank safely.  The lady apparently had seen some wildflowers and had tried to pick them when she stumbled into the mud.  Peter calmed her down and offered to take her back to the quarry to make her a drink and get her composure back. She declined as she lived locally just passed the quarry.  After a chat she left the scene to return home and Peter returned to his lorry to continue his work.
