Who is San Diego Highwayman?
Thomas Weller, a.k.a. the San Diego Highwayman, is a mechanic and nationally recognized Good Samaritan.
Weller began helping stranded motorists in 1966, two years after his car plowed into a snowbank in Illinois. A man saved Weller's life by pulling him out, and asked Weller to pass on the favor as payment for the man's help.
In April 2002 Auto Trader arranged for Weller's fuel costs to be paid, but the coverage ended 17 months later due to budget cuts.
Weller was featured on the front page of the LA Times on July 24, 2008.
