Eggs sends us a link to the story at af.mil<\/a> which tells the tale of Senior Master Sergeant Bruce Zimmerman of the 911th Security Forces Squadron who was on his way to work recently when he witnessed an accident and saw a passenger car wedged under a large truck;<\/p>\n

“As I approached the car, I could see the driver of the tractor-trailer talking to a man inside the car,” said Zimmerman. “The driver was stuck; part of his dash and steering wheel had caved in on his legs. The driver was alert and conscious.” <\/p>\n

Zimmerman and the driver of the tractor-trailer tore away debris to pull the trapped man out of the car. The driver of the car, who identified himself as “John,” had a small gash on his leg from the collision.<\/p>\n

The car was still running and there was a smell of gasoline in the air but neither of the men were unable to reach the ignition switch. Less than two minutes later, the car was fully engulfed in flames, stopping traffic on I-79 for hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zimmerman continued to apply first aid to “John” while they waited for emergency services to arrive on the scene.<\/p>\n

“I don’t consider myself a hero, maybe a good-Samaritan. Yea, I guess I am ok with that…It was just the right thing to do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
