Rescuers by car accident deserve huge credit

This is a news story about a car crash where a six year old girl died. And there is a lot in it about what not to do when a car is broken down on a highway. But I include the story because bystanders, bikers and motorists, were incredible heroes, pulling both adults out of a flaming car. Everyone deserves a lot of credit, including the guy with the crow bar in his car, and these guys mentioned by name are real heroes. It takes a lot of courage to face a wrecked car on fire, especially with gas all around. There's nothing they could do about the child who was the fatality, and I hope they can be comforted in that regard. It's very tough, I know.
