PHILADELPHIA – Last week, a powerful and rare derecho rolled over Philadelphia bringing damaging winds that downed trees, knocked out power for thousands and killed four people.
Among the destruction, 60 MPH winds gusts knocked a tractor-trailer onto its side the Girard Point Bridge.
Luckily, two passing motorists sprung into action to help the driver who was trapped inside with his pet dog.
First to arrive on the scene was Wysem Irby, who is coincidentally a tractor-trailer driver in training. Irby rushed to the side of the truck and saw the door hanging off and heard the distressed truck driver cry out in fear for his life.
“I just promised him I wouldn’t leave, I’m not going to go, I’m not going to leave, I’m going to stay right here with you the whole time,” Irby said.
Irby’s rescue attempt received some back-up when Philadelphia-based surgeon Dr. Adam Strohl pulled to the side of the road. At first, the strong wind made it impossible for Strohl to open his car door.
“There was a small lull in the wind and I said ‘I’m going now!'” Strohl said.
Irby flagged down another passing tractor-trailer and climbed on top, which gave him the boost necessary to pull out the driver’s dog and the driver.
Cell phone video after the rescue shows Irby and the rescued truck driver embrace in a hug amid the whipping wind.
“We just held each other and embraced each other, because that’s what we needed.”
Looking back, the rescue seems death-defying, but that didn’t prevent Irby from stopping to help his fellow man.
“We’re all humans we all feel emotion, we all laugh we all cry but when you put color on that it gets blurry,” Irby said. “I didn’t see any color I saw a human being.”

Many gamers don’t realize exactly how much damage can result from hours and hours of non-stop gameplay. While individuals who are at least 30 years old are more susceptible to hand and wrist complications, younger people who are passionate about gaming can also be at risk. Whether you prefer gaming with a controller on a console or with your mouse and keyboard on a PC, your gaming hobby could be contributing to severe finger, hand, or wrist discomfort. Fortunately, we have several carpal tunnel treatment centers in Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties in PA, as well as Cherry Hill, Mays Landing, and Cape May Court House, New Jersey.
With 17 offices in Philadelphia and South Jersey, including King of Prussia, Paoli, Cherry Hill, and Willow Grove, PA, our top orthopedic surgeons know how difficult shoulder pain can be. It can turn everyday, menial tasks into painful activities; putting on a shirt, opening a door, even reaching for an item on the top shelf. Shoulder pain can become common as we age, can be sudden or come on gradually, and ranges from a mild inconvenience to unbearable agony.
