A group of ‘Good Samaritans’ pulled a trapped driver from a burning vehicle on Thursday, just moments before the driver would have succumbed to a gruesome and fiery death. The driver had somehow crashed through a guardrail in St. Paul, Minnesota, with the car bursting into flames shortly afterwards. Said guardrail now blocked both driver’s side doors from opening, with the flames blocking everywhere else. As drivers realized the horror that was unfolding, several stopped to rush to help. Kadir Tolla was one of them, and his dashcam filmed the entire ordeal. The group attempted to smash the car’s windows, but to no avail. They tried prying the doors open, but to no avail. They tried rocking the guardrail back and forth to break it away, but to no avail. Another rescuer turned up, armed with a fluorescent jacket and a hammer, but the flames seemed to be winning. The hammer was victorious against the window, and the driver was pulled from the car moments before fire would claim his vehicle forever. He was taken to a hospital, surprisingly with only minor injuries. Most of the rescuers will remain anonymous, but surely never forgotten. |
