NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES, but some of them wear delivery driver uniforms.
A huge shout out to Mr Tariq, a Pizza Hut delivery driver who went above and beyond for a family who got stuck in the middle of a Dubai highway.
@UAEFamilyExplorers shared the story; they ran out of petrol in the middle of a highway near Jebel Ali Freezone. A bleak situation for anyone, the family was blown away when driver Mr Tariq approached the family and offered to help. He even supplied them with petrol so they could get on their way. What a legend!
