Another HERO * USA - Trucker pulls unconscious motorist from wreckage
Police in a Cleveland suburb say a trucker pulled another driver out of his four-wheeler last weekend before the man’s wrecked pickup burst into flames
Cleveland,OH,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Charlie Morasch -April 17, 2007: -- According to Lt. Chris Viland, the pickup driver lost control and ran into a Carquest automotive parts store and was knocked unconscious at about 2 a.m. on Saturday, April 14 in Solon, OH... John Krupka, 50, has driven a parts delivery truck for Carquest for four years, and was parked at the Solon Carquest – just one of his daily nine stops at stores in the area – when he witnessed the accident... “By the time I got to him the fire was up on the dashboard of his truck,” Krupka said. “The only thing I could think of was he was in trouble and to help him out.”... He reached into the truck and tried pulling the man out the door, but the large man was difficult to move. As Krupka got his head near the window, the man woke up enough to help Krupka move him from the fire, which by then had started devouring the pickup and was overtaking the parts store... Krupka said he continues to receive congratulatory handshakes from supervisors at work and his kids keep giving him a hard time about being a hero... “I wish someone would do something like that for me if something ever happened to me and my family,” he said...
