'Go Home Valley' Guy Was An Unlikely Good Samaritan

He risked his life on Highway 1, despite his dislike of the folks from the Valley

I saw this guy turtling in traffic alongside me on Highway 1 and thought about how things have changed and most people have dropped their hatred of tourists from the Valley.

Why? Because they realize tourism is the number one local industry. But those Valley Go Home signs were all over Santa Cruz years back.

So I was surprised when the guy driving this car pulled to the left on the freeway and helped the driver of a car who was stranded in the left lane. He helped push the car off Highway 1, a risky and dangerous effort, always.

Congrats and thanks, Good Samaritan. Now, what if the broken down car was from the Valley? 

Someone drop us a note if you know this guy.
