Real American Heroes!

The time stamp on this dash cam video is wrong, this actually happened in August 2014…

This truck driver was driving along I10 near Biloxi, Mississippi when a car t-boned a semi truck hitting the fuel tank of the semi and causing a large fire ball.

The doors of the car got stuck and the driver, who had a broken leg, could not exit the vehicle.

Luckily, this truck driver had a fire extinguisher on hand to fight back the flames and give enough time to pull the driver and her 1 year old granddaughter out of the flaming vehicle.

Everyone involved was okay, the driver of the vehicle suffered a broken leg and all others had only minor injuries.

I guess they this truck driver a huge thank you! They are OK now thanks to his bravery and quick thinking!

Remember to treat truck drivers well as they are often the first responders in automobile accidents.

        The van only stays and watches for 2 min and then leaves. He drives through, parks on the side, gets out and watches, then leaves 2 min later. You can see him pulling away at 12:42:00.

    don’t people know that if you witness an accident you are suppose to stay at the scene of a crime? That van had the best view of all to the accident. I hope they caught up to him.
