Bystanders Rescue Man from Under Burning Car

Bystanders rescue a motorcyclist from under a burning BMW.

A group of people are directed away from the scene by police after tilting a burning BMW up to free Brandon Wright, on his back on the ground, who was pinned underneath after he collided with the car while riding his motorcycle on U.S. 89 in Logan, Utah.

Authorities said Wright was riding his motorcycle near the Utah State University campus in Logan when the 21-year-old collided with the BMW that was pulling out of a parking lot. Tire and skid marks on the highway indicate that Wright laid the bike down and slid along the road before colliding with the car.

The guy in the suit is the driver of the car, who works at the University's IT dept. He just had an airbag blow up in his face and he thinks he just killed someone, so he's in shock and freaked out. Not everybody is a hero, but there are about 15 people in this video who are heroes, why not focus on them instead of putting all your attention on the one guy who wasn't? Maybe in the next life or death situation, you'll be the one to freeze up while others respond, you never know.

Instead of praising the people who saved him, everyone wants to talk about the guy just standing there. That just shows how much people love to hate......

@BeefyRalph He's in shock and probably feels extremely bad about it. Damn, guys.

@2009SC2 Yep, this just shows you, a lot of people focus on the negative. Not the positive.

People bitching about the other people just standing there, there was clearly no more space for more people to push the car without getting in the way. You also dont need 15 people pulling one guy from under the car.

@kingjamesallday People are whiny. But when the chips are done, most people will do the right thing. And then bitch about it. Still, people aren't entirely hateful.

@Fincut81 The car engine was on fire directly over the victim. If they hadn't pulled him out from under the car, he would have burnt to death. They saved his life. They didn't "leave him alone on the street." They pulled him out a safe distance from the burning car and waited for the ambulance and paramedics to arrive.

@everyonegocrazy but sometimes it could be too late if we leave the person there till a paramedic arrives.. so id rather do something than wait and be sorry 4 not doing anything
