A TikTok viral video shows how a bread delivery truck driver provided much-needed assistance to dozens of unsuspecting drivers stranded on I-95 in Virginia for over 24 hours this week due to snow and freezing temperatures.

“This couple hadn’t eaten in 37 hours while stranded on that frozen Virginia freeway, so they called the bread company whose truck was right in front of them and asked if they could have what was inside,” said the narrator of the video, showing a photo of Casey Holihan and her husband John Noe and the Schmidt Baking Company truck.

“To their surprise, the truck driver was contacted and given the green light to distribute bread to 50 hungry drivers,” they added as the video shows the driver in boots and gloves handing out bags of bread from a Baltimore resident’s truck Company.

It is unclear how many people were fed by the gesture or how long the drivers were stuck in traffic before being rescued.

The tangled traffic caused Virginia state traffic officials to close the entire freeway, including the mostly congested areas between exits 152 and 104.

The incident started on Monday before it dragged itself into Tuesday night, but despite the chaos, no deaths, injuries or major accidents have been reported.

There were other reports of people coming to the rescue of the trapped, including a family handing oranges to the U.S. Senator.

Governor Ralph Northam has declared a state of emergency after initially deciding against it, as another winter storm is expected in Virginia in the coming days.

UPDATE: I declared a state of emergency as Virginia prepares to respond to another major winter storm starting tomorrow.

These successive storms will create breakthrough winter weather that will require additional flexibility – especially as many continue to grapple with power outages.
