Hero Trucker Saves Grandmother And 1 Year-Old Granddaughter From Burning Car

August 18, 2014

It takes a huge amount of bravery to be the first person to run toward a car engulfed in flames.

On August 11, 2014, a car t-boned a semi truck on I10 near Biloxi, Mississippi. The car struck the fuel tank of the semi causing a massive fire ball.

The doors of the car were jammed shut and the driver, suffering a broken leg, could not exit the vehicle. A truck driver who witnessed the accident grabbed his fire extinguisher and ran to the burning car.

His courage inspired others to do the same. They were able to fight back the flames just long enough to pull the driver and her 1 year-old granddaughter out of the vehicle.
