Waxahachie Motorcyclist Thankful for Good Samaritan

Biker Kyle Webb saved by a stranger

What happened to Texas motorcyclist, Kyle Webb, last Thursday (May 26) could have been a lot worse, according to doctors, had the charity of a complete stranger, Stewart King, been lacking. Had King not been in the right place at the right time, Webb may not have lived to tell the story.

King was driving his 18-wheeler home at about 11pm on I-35 South in Waxahachie when he saw 28-year-old Webb lose control, and his motorcycle flip as he exited mile marker 405. King, who, as a truck driver, prides himself on paying particularly close attention to the road, rushed to Webb's side, lifting the bike off him.

Webb was rushed to Parkland Hospital's trauma unit, where he was later told that, had much more time elapsed, he might not have been saved due to serious blood loss. Webb's right foot had to be amputated, but said he know it could have been worse. King noted that there were other cars ahead of his 18-wheeler that did not stop.

As a North Texas motorcycle accident attorney, it gives me a sense of pride to hear stories of such southern hospitality and charity, and makes me grateful to be a Texan. As a personal injury lawyer it is my job to prosecute the negligence of the irresponsible, so I am glad when I hear stories of such selflessness. Both Kyle and his wife Ashley are thankful for the stranger that stopped to help. I am grateful as well.
