Bonnie Carpenter, Gordon Gamble & TD Insurance

We hear a lot these days about heartless insurance companies, so it’s nice to be able to include one among today’s Huck’s Heroes. In Carseland, Canada, Bonnie Carpenter was out driving with her husband, Gordon Gamble, when they saw a man trying to drag a screaming woman toward his car. Bonnie stopped, and the woman broke loose, ran over and dived into their Jeep. Bonnie peeled out, but the would-be kidnapper started chasing them. He rammed their Jeep over and over, trying to force them off the road. For them, it was a terrifying ordeal.

Police finally caught the thug, but the Jeep was smashed and towed away. Now, Bonnie and Gordon had no car, and no collision coverage. But after their insurer, TD Insurance, heard that story from CDC News, they decided to pay to fix the Jeep after all, just to applaud them for being Good Samaritans. I think they all deserve some applause for being Huck’s Heroes.
