More Casualties

The death toll further rose to three after a couple of accidents were reported which were the fallout of the mess Storm Doris had made. These accidents caused serious injuries to many and what was worse than it took the life of a 32-year-old woman and a lorry driver who was apparently in his early 50’s. The investigation made it clear as to how these accidents took place.

The Background Story

The police department carried out an investigation and they found that the 32-year-old had been pushing an empty pushchair so as to pick up her kid from a babysitter who lived a few blocks away. It was when she met with a road accident in Swindon. The onlookers said, “the wind took hold of her and swept the empty pram into the path of the road cleaner.” While the lorry driver lost his life at the scene in New Cross the reason for which was high winds that lead to a fatal road accident. A Police spokesman said, “it is not believed that another vehicle was involved.”

A Box Of Chocolates

Joanie was more than thankful for what Dan did for her given that they were absolute strangers at the time. She decided to see Dan and bought a box of chocolate to thank him for what he did. She left for Dan’s office and both of them were reunited, luckily for them the circumstances this time were much better and peaceful.

Hear It From Dan

He said: “Our office overlooks the High Street and I saw the lady clinging on so I rushed out to help. “I said ‘Are you alright? Do you need a hand?” and her eyes lit up as she said ‘Yes please’. He continued to explain, “she said three people had walked past without helping her so I offered to walk her to her cottage five minutes away. She said she wouldn’t have got home without me, but I was just happy to help out.”

It’s Viral Now

Remember how Dan’s colleague captured his generous act and recorded it over a camera. Well, the video made it to many platforms over social media and it spread like a wildfire in no time. The video that features Dan and his kind act was shot and uploaded by Jodie Lynch on her social media account and the rest is history. The video has gone places ever since and there was a piece of happy news amid all the worst that happened.

A Happy News

There wasn’t much to celebrate about the aftermath that Storm Doris had left behind. People had to bear the loss of losing their loved ones and the state was still recovering from the economic loss this disaster had caused. Having said that, the story of Dan rescuing Joanie was met widely by the media including local and national news channels as this real-life happy ending was all that the people who suffered needed to move on.
