I was the first to arrive to the seen. I was approached by the driver of the white van. The black convertible was on fire and the passenger of the black car was screaming “my brother… my brother!!” First thing was first! Van was leaking some sorts of fluid so we needed to get these people out of there! I moved the two older gentleman in the back of the van down the road a ways and as soon as were about to move the driver two squad cars pulled up. The police helped myself and the driver of the white van move the driver of the black car up the road a ways and as soon as we set him down the black car blew up. I was very pleased to have arrived when I did but wasn’t for sure how the driver was going to make it. I’m glad to know that he is OK now. God Bless! : )
