Why a lorry driver left a toy Royal Mail gift on a motorway bridge
A lorry driver who left a gift on a motorway bridge for a disabled man who likes to wave at traffic said he was simply returning a kindness.
The driver, who was regularly acknowledged by Mr Chesters during his route between Chorley and Bristol, said: "It can be a bit lonely and boring when you're driving on your own."All he's doing is standing on a bridge waving, I don't think he realises how much he changes other people's moods."The 33-year-old saw Mr Chesters, 27, waving from the bridge at the same time each day for a week.
"I dropped it off on Monday [last week] and they found it on the Saturday," Richard said. "I could see it strapped to the fence all week." Before long, the story was being shared far and wide and that was when Richard came forward to explain his gesture. He said it was "nice to see some of the comments" online.The driver said he thought his waving friend "might like his own" vehicle
