Two Pennsylvania Turnpike workers are being hailed as heroes after pulling two people out of a vehicle after a crash. Moments later, the vehicle exploded. Talk to a Malvern car accident attorney from Kwartler Manus about your injuries.
What Happened on the PA Turnpike?
According to reports, the accident took place in Malvern. The two employees were working at the Devault Maintenance Shed when they heard a loud bang. That’s when they found a vehicle had struck a nearby tree. Workers noted that two people were in the car and that flames were spreading quickly. They worked together to remove the victims from the vehicle to a safe location. Other drivers also stopped to help remove the second person from the car.
Once bystanders had pulled the two car occupants to safety, it was only seconds later that the car exploded. The two workers remained by the victims' side, waiting for EMS to arrive. The cause of the crash is still undetermined, but it is clear that if the two workers had not jumped into action, they would have faced a far more serious outcome.
