\"Richard<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Near Nashville, Tennessee, the other day, a FedEx truck driver seems to have fallen asleep at the wheel of his rig and struck two cars which ended up causing a pile up. One of the cars he hit was driven by Army National Guardsman Sergeant First Class Richard Crossen according to Fox17<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Sgt. Richard Crosson of the U.S. Army was involved in the crash, yet was able to save the driver of the car which caught on fire. Sgt. Crosson shared his experience with FOX 17.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Crosson told FOX 17 Nashville he was actually supposed to be at work 30 minutes earlier but was running late, putting him in the right place at the right time. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

News 2 spoke with Richard Crosson, a military sergeant of 36 years who was driving the car that went underneath a semi.<\/p>\n

Crosson said he was hit from behind by a van, which caused him to slide underneath the tractor-trailer, which then dragged him up the road a short distance.<\/p>\n

He said he was then able to get out from underneath the semi and stop behind the burning car.<\/p>\n

Crosson told News 2 he helped the man get out of the car in flames and take him a safe distance away.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just don\u2019t hesitate in something like this,\u201d he explained. \u201d I don\u2019t know. He might not have been around if I would have hesitated because it was burning pretty good.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
