Christopher Johnson
Supervisor, SITA Networking

While driving, Christopher saw an accident and stopped to offer assistance. When one of the parties attempted to flee the scene in his truck, which turned out to be stolen, Christopher climbed up the truck and tried to prevent the driver from starting up the truck, but without success. As the truck drove off, Christopher fell off and was run over by the truck. He was subsequently airlifted to the hospital with multiple injuries, including a pelvic fracture. Despite his injuries and a slight limp, Christopher is now back at work.
