A Calgary truck driver has been recognized as a highway angel for driving three hours to return a purse containing money and jewelry that a woman had accidentally dropped near Golden, B.C.

Truck driver Daljit Sohi made a stop at the rest area on Nov. 29, 2024, when he saw Shailly James, of High River, Alta., inadvertently drop her purse during the stop while assisting her 4-year-old child, according to the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA).
