“Thank goodness Mr. Baxley was in the right place at the right time and made a huge difference by stepping in, risking his own life to save another person,” said Sgt. Jesse Grabow of the State Patrol.<\/p>\n
Baxley, 28, a sergeant in the Minnesota National Guard, said he was on his way to work at Camp Ripley when he saw debris in the road and damaged vehicles nearby. He saw flames coming out of the Caravan and heard calls for help.<\/p>\n
“I made my way to the car, cut his seat belt and dropped him out of the car and got him out,” Baxley said later in the day. Baxley grabbed Jacobson by his collar and pulled him 50 feet from the Caravan.<\/p>\n
“By the time I dragged him from the car and we turned back around, that whole cab was rolling in flames,” Baxley said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
