Bystanders save motorcyclist trapped under burning car
Bystanders save motorcyclist trapped under burning car
By the CNN Wire Staff
UPDATED: 04:30 AM EDT 09.13.11
Police in Utah are searching for a group of construction workers, students and bystanders.
But for a good reason.
This group is credited with saving a man's life by working together to lift a burning car and pull a man to safety.
It was a "life-saving move that the Logan Police Department does not want to go unnoticed," said Jeff Curtis, assistant chief of the police department in Logan, Utah.
The incident occurred Monday morning on a street near Utah State University and was captured on video.
Police said the BMW pulled out of a parking lot and in front of Wright. Curtis said the motorcyclist tried to avoid the car, which resulted in him laying the motorcycle down.
After crashing, gas spilled out of the motorcycle and ignited, engulfing both the motorcycle and the front end of the car in flames, Curtis said. The motorcyclist became lodged underneath the burning vehicle.
A video of the incident shows several startled bystanders looking under the BMW as flames leap into the air.
The crowd quickly grew to include a man in a suit, construction workers wearing hard hats, a woman in sandals and a young man carrying a backpack.
After one person in the group tried to pick up the blazing car, the crowd joined in and were somehow able to lift the 4,000-pound vehicle.
One of the bystanders drags the fallen motorcyclist's limp body from under the vehicle.
The motorcyclist was identified as 21-year-old Brandon Wright from Logan. He was rushed to a hospital and was in stable condition after surgery Monday evening, Curtis said. The driver of the car was not seriously injured.
Curtis said police are trying to find the people who helped so they can be recognized for their efforts at a city council meeting.

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Holy shit, that was fucking kick ass! Who is that chick, because I am in love with her.
Video starts out with her laying on concrete completely ignoring a burning motor cycle just feet from her face. She evaluates the situation and motions the others to help her lift the car off of the cyclist. She is the first to jump under the burning car, then with the help of the others, they left the car and drag the cyclist to safety.
I love watching stiff like that. It pisses me off so bad to see stories of someone needing help while at the same time being surrounded by 20 people who all have their thumb up their asses watching for someone else to help.
Also, who is the douche bag in the suit not helping? I bet he was the inconsiderate fuck driver that hit the guy on the motorcycle.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

Dude in the suit even leaned against the car for a good couple of seconds while the young guy was almost Burnt alive underneath the car. People need to get their priorities on check; overall awesome video. Gives me hope that the world cares.

I mean, really, who wants to lose a car and a suit on the same day? Originally Posted by SFW

Thinking about it...
The guy, if he is the one that hit the rider, may have been in shock. His body language looks like it.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

This seems like a reversal of the type of argument you and I would have, but I am calling him a pussy regardless of shock. I just don't like him for some reason. Rationally, I agree wit you, but emotionally, I still want to bunch that guy in the balls. Originally Posted by DOMS

I have nether the drugs or the inclination to write that much. But I can do the "fuck you."
Fuck you.
