A truck driver publicly thanked a Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) trooper for stopping his semi to let him know about a flat tire.
In a November 10 social media post, NSP highlighted a positive interaction between a truck driver referred to as John, and NSP Trooper Poppe.
“Your officer pulled me over since I had a flat I was not aware of. Trooper Poppe made the interaction friendly, courteous, and professional. His dedication to his duties did not stop at a ticket, but an interaction that saved me a possible accident and my life since I was in a semi truck.
Thank you Trooper Poppe for your caring, courteous, and professional attitude. Thank you again!!” John wrote.

This is not the first time Trooper Poppe was on hand to assist a truck driver after a blown tire.
In 2024, Trooper Poppe received the NSP Life Saver Award for his “life-saving response after finding a truck driver who suffered life-threatening injuries when a tire blew as he was servicing his disabled semi.”
