A speeding truck driver was recently surprised by the kindness of an Indiana
state police officer who chose to pray with him rather than ticket him.
Rodney Gibson said he was so upset this past Monday -- struggling to accept the fact
his daughter's breast cancer was not going away -- that he didn't realize he was speeding
down a busy highway in Bloomington, Indiana, ABC affiliate WRTV reported.
Indiana State Police Sgt. Todd Durnil told ABC News today when he pulled Gibson over,
Gibson appeared to be very "upset and angry" -- not about the traffic stop, but rather -- about "something else going on."

Gibson then explained "with tears in his eyes" that his daughter was recently told the breast cancer
she'd been battling for six years metastasized and that she likely wasn't going to make it.
On his way back to his patrol car, Durnil said his first thought was that Gibson really
needed prayers and that he would tell his family and church to pray for Gibson.
"I also thought, this man already has enough, I'm not going to write him any paperwork
for a ticket or even a warning," he said. "When I walked back to his truck, I explained everything.
Durnil then asked Gibson if there was anything else if he could do for him and Gibson told him, "Do you know how to pray?"
"Here I was thinking this man needs prayer, and now he's asking me for a prayer," Durnil said. "The good Lord put us together for a purpose."
Durnil then went over to the right side of the semi, took his hat off, knelt down, took Gibson's hand and said a prayer. Both the men had tears in their eyes.
