Two truck drivers were among those stuck on I-10 in Texas due to flooding from Tropical Storm Imelda. Together the truckers used the food they were hauling and a grill to prepare meals for some of the other motorists stranded on the highway.

The impromptu barbeque happened on I-10 near Winnie, a town in between Houston and Beaumont. Police say more than 200 vehicles became trapped on that section of road as rising flood waters made travel impossible.

Authorities were making evacuations to local shelters, but the rescues were moving slowly.

One of those stuck on the road was Reggie McCoy, a trucker who had been on his way to make a delivery to a grocery store in Beaumont. He had been stuck on the road for more than 36 hours when he decided he had to do something for the other motorists. So, he called his boss and asked if he could share the food in his truck.

“He was like, ‘Hey, whatever anybody needs. Let’s get it off the truck,’” said McCoy according to ABC13. “We’ve got water. We’ve got milk, toilet paper.”

McCoy teamed up with another driver, Kenny, who had a grill and some chicken. Together they made food and handed out supplies to their fellow travelers.

“We had chicken wings last night and a few grape tomatoes and chips and milk,” said McCoy.

McCoy says they fed around 30 or 40 people. Well done, drivers!
