I was notified of this driver heroic action today by another member . To say this YRC driver is a hero is a understatement . This happen in June but the driver never looked for recognition from YRC and it wasn't until this story was sent to YRC did they even know about his heroic actions ! Thank you Mr.Vega
Truck Drivers Save 4 People Trapped in Car After Crash
PHOENIX - A man tells FOX 10 that he and his partner pulled out four of the five people inside a crashed car that was about to explode Thursday morning on Interstate 10.
That crash occurred when a tractor trailer traveling westbound toward California crossed the median and collided with the car at about 1:30 a.m.
Truck driver Robert Vega was driving behind the collision and witnessed it. He said the trailer broke in half, and the car hit its fuel tanks..........................
................Vega said he and his fellow truck driver, George Santana, ran to the car to get the passengers out. Vega said he broke the back window and pulled out a 4-month-old baby and handed the infant to Santana.
The two ran back and forth, battling 15 to 20 foot high flames.
They were able to rescue a husband and wife and their preteen daughter, who were all pinned inside the car. They said the wife was unconscious because she had hit her forehead during the collision.
They were not able to rescue the last person in the car, who was the grandmother. She was sitting in the right front passenger seat. She died when the car exploded, burning her alive.............
