Student appreciates some muscle power
Corie Marko of Tipp City was driving to a class at Wright State University where she was scheduled to take a test when she said her car started making funny noises.
Corie’s mother Julie Marko explained, “Corie is a junior at Wright State majoring in communications. She was on her way to class on Colonel Glen Highway when her car made the weird noises and then stopped.”
A woman driving a car just behind Julie stopped her car and asked Julie if she was having problems.
“At about the same time, two young men walking toward class asked Julie if she wanted them to help her push her car out of traffic into a parking space,” the mother said.
The driver behind Julie followed closely as the two young men pushed her car several yards down the highway into a safe place.
“They really pushed my car a long ways,” Julie said. “I felt so bad.”
Then the woman gave Julie a ride to her class so she was able to take her test.
After class Julie was able to call for a wrecker and to have her car towed in and fixed.
Julie didn’t get the names, but says she appreciates the help from the strangers.
“My daughter feels like these folks were angels watching after her,” the mother said. “It was such a kind gesture.”
