Caltrans worker came to my rescue

On Jan. 27, my car stalled on busy Highway 99 in Fresno. Fortunately, I was able to park off the freeway in a spot used by Caltrans for maintenance of plant growth along highways.

One of the workers came to my assistance and aided me in contacting AAA, who then guided me back onto the busy highway and toward my destination.

Many thanks to Daryl and Caltrans for such courteous assistance.

Elaine Nelson, Fresno
