People are so keen to jump in front of a bullet for their friend or family but what about somebody that you don't even know? This truck driver put his life at risk when rescuing people from a burning vehicle
Would you risk your own life to help a stranger in danger?
An elderly lady and her 1-year old grandchild were rescued by a heroic truck driver, David Fredericksen in Mississippi
In the footage below you see David approaching a burning car in the middle of the highway, pulls over, and runs towards the wreckage with a fire extinguisher!
Inspired by his actions, other bystanders also leave their own cars to help the passengers in the burning car
“We noticed there was a lady in the front, kicking the front seat – the door, trying to get out, and when we opened the door I noticed a 1-year-old little girl in the back seat,” Fredericksen told ABC News
Remarkably, aside from the grandmother suffering a broken leg, everyone involved escaped without any serious injury.
