Santa Saves the Day for DFW Man in Burning Truck on I-635
Posted on Dec 22, 2011
Houston car accident lawyers want to pass along this wonderful Christmas tale from North Texas about one man's early gift of rescue from a helpful Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, aka Brad Luddeke, a former volunteer firefighter from Arlington, TX, brought Christmas joy early to a man he saved from a burning truck after a two-vehicle collision on I-635 in the DFW Metroplex. This Santa Claus was on his way with a modern "sleigh" full of toys for families in need. He delivers toys each year in his role as Santa.
He stopped his own "sleigh" when he spotted the two-vehicle wreck. He pulled one man out of a burning truck. Then, he said, the battery must have exploded. Because a fireball and black smoke erupted behind them. After pulling the man to safety, Santa Claus helped direct traffic around the burning I-635 wreckage.
Brad Luddeke is well acquainted with the tragedy a car accident can bring. A news account about his help at the site of the burning I-635 wreck states that Brad Luddeke lost his teenage son 7 years ago to a single-vehicle wreck. He says that the Christmas season is about kindness and love, and that it only takes one person in the right place at the right time to help avert a tragedy. He says that Santa Claus "was just helping out" when he was needed.
Brad Luddeke represents the true spirit of Santa Claus. Not only will his toys help bring some Christmas cheer to some young children this year, but his help at the site of the I-635 wreck helped bring safety and cheer to a man in a burning truck. He might even have saved a life.
