A truck driver speeding down the highway got quite the surprise when the officer who pulled him over decided to pray with with instead of giving him a ticket. That driver’s name was Rodney Gibson.
When Indiana State Police Sgt. Todd Durnil pulled Gibson over, he could tell something was not quite right.
He seemed very “upset and angry,” Durnil reported to ABC, and he could tell it ran deeper than a traffic strop. There was “something else going on,” he said.
It turns out, the man was so torn up because he was wrestling to accept that his daughter’s breast cancer wasn’t going away. His mind was so wrapped up in it, in fact, that he didn’t even notice how fast he was going.
Sgt. Durnil was desperately trying to think of a way to get through to Gibson.
That’s when a little shiny reflection above the truck driver’s head caught his eye. It was an angel pinned to his sun visor. And it just so happened to be the exact same one that the officer owned himself.
Durnil looked up at the angel and told Gibson, “thinking how we’re probably not all that different.”
