ROCKY MOUNT, Va. — A mother’s thank you to a trooper who came to the aid of her son has gone viral.
According to WTVR, 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Joseph Owusu was driving home from school at night when his back tire blew.
Trooper Matt Okes reportedly attempted to change the tire. When further complications with the car arose, Okes then spent hours with Joseph as they waited for AAA to arrive.
The student’s mother, Nada Owusu, wrote a Facebook post thanking the officer for keeping her son safe.
“There’s a lot of good in America and that needs to be heard. Police need our support,” Owusu told the publication.
