In the wake of a harrowing car crash, a woman finds herself caught between the dark and light sides of humanity, as a thief robs her while a kind-hearted stranger comes to her rescue.
On a fateful Sunday morning, Kimberly Smith‘s life took an unexpected turn when her car suddenly veered off Highway 114 in Irving, Texas, flipping over and crashing. Dazed but not critically injured, Smith found herself in a vulnerable and traumatized state. As she struggled to free herself from the wreckage, a man pulled over, claiming he had found her purse near the crash site.
However, this seemingly helpful stranger had sinister intentions. As Smith searched for her phone, the man robbed her and fled the scene in his red, faded pickup truck, leaving her even more distraught.
Reflecting on the incident, Smith said, “Next thing I know, he’s gone, and my wallet is missing… He must be in a hard situation to feel the need to steal from someone that has just gone through a traumatic experience, who could have nearly died or suffered serious injuries.”
Working in a North Texas Police Department jail, Smith is no stranger to criminal behavior. Her father, Steve, a retired police officer who served in Dallas and Addison, was appalled by the man’s actions. “To take advantage of it, to steal from her and then just to leave her there by herself,” he said, “You wouldn’t want to wish that on anybody.”
Stranded at the crash site, Smith waited for help as numerous cars drove past her overturned vehicle. “People were slowing down, taking pictures,” she recounted, “Hey, can you call 911? Hey, please help. Men took off driving. One person stopped.”
The man who finally came to Smith’s aid was an out-of-state visitor with a heart of gold. Grateful for his assistance, Smith hopes to track him down online to express her thanks properly. As for the thief, Smith can only describe him as driving a red pickup truck, hoping that someone might recognize him and help bring him to justice.
Unfortunately, the callous robber remains at large. Texas police continue their search, with little information to go on besides the color of the thief’s truck.
