Benjamin was one of the people who performed chest compressions on the roadside until paramedics arrived to take John to the hospital. Benjamin told SooToday he was not looking for recognition when he made that post, but was genuinely concerned for the man. He didn't wish to be interviewed.Until Sarah Tomlinson saw that post on Facebook, she believed her husband had died alone along the highway.
