When the car passed his truck, he jumped into action.
"I go up to the side door and she's fighting with him. I said, 'Is he trying to steal your car?' and she says, 'Yes, he's trying to steal my car.' I say, 'Put in park, put it park,'" he said.
The truck driver was able to grab the suspect by the shirt when the car stopped, but he was able to get away.
