The Truckload Carriers Association recognized three professional truck drivers as Highway Angels for performing heroic deeds while on the job. Morgan Kirkland, from Milton, Florida, a professional truck driver with Groendyke Transport, of Enid, Oklahoma, is being recognized for his skill in preventing a deadly head-on collision while transporting methanol. Kirkland was traveling around 2 a.m. in late September between Pensacola and Pace, Florida. He was hauling methanol and there was a light rain coming down. While driving across a bridge, he noticed a set of lights in front of him. At first, he thought it was a DOT person on the side of the road as a lane had been closed. “Before I knew it, the lights swerved, and I realized it was actually a car on the wrong side of the road coming at me full speed. I couldn’t tell exactly where he was until the last few seconds.”
