Speaker 1 (00:00):
We love a bit of good news, and we saw
a good news story last night on Channel seven. Of
course not Hailiy or eyes preferred channel as a Channel
ten and a Channel nine gal, but occasionally they do
some good work on their news.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
There was a story about a mother and a son.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
They were waiting for an access taxi and they were
having a lot of trouble getting a taxi, which I
mean it's tough enough getting a normal taxi or a
normal let's learn an access one because they needed to
get to Adelaide Hospital. So it's an eleven year oldest
name is Oliver. He's got a mobility aid. They've come
from Toowoomba to get this treatment at Adelaide Memorial Hospitals.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
So that comes from Queensland ages away.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
But also when you come to a new state. I
want them to love Adelaide because.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That's if a taxi is not coming, that's the worst
thing we can do for them in that family, because
they can't just get in any car.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
No, and it's like they were staying ages away. They're
staying in the CBD.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah what happened. This is poor form from the disability cap.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
They're staying there they've booked one.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It never arrived, so they've tried to get more three
different taxi services.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hasn't arrived.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And as it turns out, there is a bloke who's
driving a truck around Adelaide and he's delivering some stuff
and he drives down the road and he sees them
standing there waiting, drops his stuff off, thinks nothing of it,
comes back past like half an hour forty five minutes later,
and sees them still standing there, rolls down his window says,
you guys right, and they're like, we can't get a cab.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And he says, where are you going. We're going to
the Memorial Hospital. Come with me.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh, and he put everything in the back of his truck.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He's thrown that all in the back of his truck.
They're sitting there in the truck. The mum took some
mum took some video when they were in the cabin
of the truck driving to the hospital in the truck.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And we don't even know this beautiful man's name, d D.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Didn't even know his name.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Oh, but she was ready to put that on social
media without a video.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's not a story. Didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
No, I love that D. What a legend.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So D's pulled over and D's picked him up, He's
dropped them off, And you know what, D's just a
regular bloke.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
He's just a regular truck.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Channel seven spoke to him and he just seems like
a good dude.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
She was just grateful. She was shocked herself that I stopped.
But I'm sure there's a lot of other people out
there would have stopped if they saw it.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But like I said, right times, do.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
You know what, there's actually not there's It's actually rare
that you get someone. People are always in their own world,
they're too busy, or someone else will do it and
they don't stop.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
So D is an actual legend.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, what a good samaritan.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I want to get him on our show.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Give him a big hug. Yeah, we'll try and get
him before the end of the show. D you a
good samaritan?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Call us?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Are you a good samaritan?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Occasionally sometimes I'm good. I'd like to think that I
would do the same thing, would you, though, But as
you say, everyone's like looking at it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
If you look at your phone your whole time when
you're walking, I just don't notice things as much as
I used to when I was like eighteen, and I
didn't look at my phone all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, I same.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I'm always in another world and I'm always thinking of
a thousand things at the same time.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
But if I saw that, I wish that I would.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Do something like that, but I think I would be
too busy in my own world to stop.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, just being honest, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
We appreciate the honesty, and that is where our hero
comes into play. And we have tracked down the hero.
It is D the truck driver from Paralleli.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Good morning, D, good morning, how are you de goodness?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I love you so much.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Thank you for everything you did for this beautiful mum
and son.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Can you just We've obviously told our side of.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
What we saw on the news, but can you for
you tell us your side of the story.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Oh so, I was just driving around the city, just
all wave mouth and it happened to turn off on
Haimo Square the first time that I saw Josie just Ones.
I didn't know her name was Josie, but I saw
her on the side, just on the phone, and she
looked distraught. She was just walking up and down like
I see her face of liberty. Yeah, I didn't think
much of it. As I drove passed, I saw the
little one in the chair and I was like, oh, no,
(03:52):
you know, something must be right, and I'm in a truck,
so I can't just stop there.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So I had to do with Yui.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I came back around and I kept looking, but she
didn't see me that time yet because she was too
concentrated on something else. As I drove off, she looked
at me. I was like, yeah, I got to come
back around. So I came back around. She waved me
down and then she was like, oh, can you take
me to the hospital. And then as soon as she
said that, I just jumped out of the truck, got
out and went to I didn't even know she was
(04:16):
on the phone to the radio at the time. Oh,
I just said, let's just go. You know you need
to go, you go. So I just started lifting all
her luggage and disabled trolley into the back of the truck,
got them both into the trunck, and just head straighted it.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What a god have you done something like this before?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Is this like in your wheelhouse?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
No it's not, it's not. But like I said, I'll
do it again with no hesitation.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
To be honest normally, like if we see these things,
we're all in our own worlds someone else or whatever,
and you can't just move on whereas you actually went back.
Is it because she caught your eye and you got
I to eye?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
No, not really, It's just culture of care, you.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Know what I mean, Just like your mum and dad
did a very good job raising you.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
No, they did.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
It was my aunties and uncles as well, the village.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, we were.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
We were so pleased to see that there are people
out there in Adelaide that do this sort of thing,
because it's all look better and.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Lady is a good place. I was just I was
just sad that she had to experience that from you,
from us down here.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
We do need to get to the bottom of that
as well. Why there were a possibility cap because.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's horrible absolutely picking up everyone as much as it
sounds like he would try to, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
