ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Is a Canadian trucking firm in Saskatoon the most heroic fleet in the world? It would be tough to argue differently.

Just a few weeks after one of its drivers was named a Highway Angel by the U.S.-based Truckload Carriers Association, the carrier group honored two more N. Yanke Transfer drivers for their heroism from the road.

Jason Siddons and Paul Farrell, British-born team drivers hauling explosives with N. Yanke Transfer in Saskatoon, were commended by TCA for saving two brothers who were injured when their pickup truck swerved off the road in Northern Ontario.

As Siddons drove along Hwy 17 and Farrell slept in the sleeper berth, the driver spotted the pickup, which had flipped onto its roof and then landed back on its wheels again.

Waking Farrell, both truckers then ran to the pickup. When they arrived, they found two male occupants, one of which had deep cuts on his head and face and was losing a fair amount of blood.

Farrell helped stop the bleeding with a dressing and cleaned the man up, while Siddons called emergency services. Both drivers remained with the victims for about a half hour, giving them a warm place to wait until emergency services arrived and transported the injured men to the hospital.

Later, one of the victims spoke to the drivers’ director of fleet safety and recruiting. If it weren’t for the kindness of Siddons and Farrell, he said, he was not sure he would be alive today.

Originally from the U.K., Siddons and Farrell said they are unfamiliar with TCA’s Highway Angels program. However, Siddons said, “We didn’t do it for any special recognition. It’s just second nature for us to stop and help. When you see someone in trouble, you help them."

A few weeks ago, TCA has named Saskatchewan trucker Richard Rossnagel a Highway Angel as well. Also a N. Yanke Transer driver, Rossnage was honored for assisting the passengers of an overturned SUV last December.
