She was appreciative of Troop Voss' care and concern for the driver's behavior behind the wheel, sharing how dangerous it could be driving through Colorado's mountains.

"You made them think about what may happen if they couldn't slow down in the mountains," she stated. "You showed genuine care and concern for us!"

Ronda says the message was heard loud and clear, and her son slowed down and was more cautious.

"It kind of felt like their dads had sent you to teach them a valuable lesson."
