Tennessee — Christopher Hight, a Mesa, Arizona-based trucker, pulled his rig to the shoulder and extracted a trapped infant from a crushed passenger vehicle following a severe multi-vehicle collision on a Tennessee highway earlier this week. Hight was hauling freight between Laredo and Dallas when the wreck unfolded directly ahead, kicking up a thick cloud of road dust that temporarily obscured the scene. Once visibility returned, Hight assessed the damage, noted the passenger car was flattened against the rear of a commercial truck, and immediately initiated a roadside rescue.
