Returning from a trip south and almost to the border crossing in TJ we got t-boned by a Mexican fellow who happened to live in San Ysidro. We had been
towing our Baja Bug. Tow bar broke in the accident. His car was not driveable. Loo-oong story short he drove our VW while we drove our car back to his
house in the U.S. My wife drove me to the local hospital and upon returning to his house his family had bathed and fed our young children, he offered
all five of us a place to spend the remainder of the night.
Next day we had to get to LA to a neurosurgeon so he kept our VW (ended up with it for almost two weeks) until we could arrange to get it back home. A
perfect stranger to us and a wonderful example of a good samaritan.
Yea we stop - never could we hope to repay the kindness shown to us.
