Police say one of the men entered the burning vehicle through its passenger-side door, cut a seatbelt off the woman and pulled her to safety while the other used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames.
INDIANAPOLIS — A woman was rescued by two bystanders who pulled her from her vehicle after it went off the road and caught fire early Thursday near Interstate 74, police say.
ISP started receiving calls about 1:11 a.m. in reference to the crash. Indianapolis firefighters were the first to arrive and found the woman lying on the ground near the wreckage and being tended to by bystanders. She was then transported to a local hospital. "If it wasn't for these two men we could be investigating a fatal crash this morning, their heroic actions and selfless response saved a life," said ISP Sgt. Jon Caddell in a statement.
