Strangers Brave Flames to Save Man Trapped in Car
Raw dash camera footage shows 5 or 6 people stopping and rushing out of their vehicles after an SUV veers off the highway and catches fire.
Despite their efforts to open the car doors as the flames grow, they fail. Luckily, a member of the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Freeway Incident Response Safety Team arrives in time to break the window.
The incident began when 71-year-old Sam Orbovich lost consciousness while driving his Honda. When he comes to, he finds himself surrounded by flames and being rescued by the these good Samaritans. That must have been terrifying.
It is really great to see people willing to jump to help a person in need despite the possible dangers to themselves.
