Achilles was not pleased

Hector, one of the guys in my class, wrecked on Wednesday. Another car t-boned his while he was responding to a separate accident. The Deputy's car hit a rock, flipped over and caught fire, while the Deputy was knocked unconscious.

About 7 or 8 citizens that witnessed the accident turned the car over and pulled Hector to safety.

The news article has a great slide show of the citizens in action. I was kind of moved by it, because most of the people we deal with would be happy to see one of us burn. But, these folks put themselves in a the line of fire, literally, to pull Hector to safety.

You can see the article and the pictures here.

Did you see the man that hit the officer? That is a huge truck, and falls under that stereo typical old man caused the accident.
