State trooper prevents accident

On Dec. 15, I was going to the dentist when my car stopped dead at an I-5 off ramp. I was in serious trouble with cars and big trucks trying to get by in a very small space. I called 911 as my son was coming. But we live south of Rainier, so I knew it would take awhile.

Trooper Rosser came quickly. I couldn’t get the window down and didn’t like to have an officer advance to the car when it was fogged over with a German shepherd inside. Trooper Rosser was very kind and considerate and quickly pushed my car into a parking lot. It is wonderful when a young trooper is accommodating and courteous to a 76-year-old gal. Later he came back to see if help had arrived.

In this day and age with all that is going on, we want the public to know that if you are in trouble, Trooper Rosser is a great officer with a good heart and soul. Thank you Washington State Patrol for a great trooper like him.
