A Utah motorcyclist who was pinned under a burning car, expressed his gratitude on Tuesday for the help of strangers who lifted up the the 4,000 pound (1.8 tonne) vehicle to rescue him, in an act of bravery captured on amateur video. Authorities said 21-year-old Brandon Wright was riding his motorcycle on Monday near the Utah State University campus in Logan when he collided with a black BMW that was pulling out of a parking lot. Tyre and skid marks on the highway indicate that Wright laid the bike down and slid along the road before colliding with the car. The bike hit the car's hood and bounced to the ground, while Wright, who was not a wearing helmet, slid under the car and then both vehicles burst into flames, police said. Wright was pinned to the ground as the flames began to engulf the car. The video shows a crowd of about 10 men and women gathering around the burning car and motorcycle as flames shoot into the air. Quickly the group places their hands on the car and starts to rock it until it tilts up on its side.Once the car is on two wheels, a construction worker can be seen dragging a spread-eagled Wright from under the car.

  • +1 faith in humanity acquired. Also, wear a damn helmet, people. Would be a shame to have people go through all that only for you to be brain dead.

  • All the people commenting that the guy filming the act should have "gone to help instead of sitting on his ass filming" are clearly not informed as to where he was at the time of the accident. In the amount of time it took to pull the car off of him, the man would not have made it over there in time. Inform yourself was to where the man was and how far that is from where the accident was before criticizing.
