A Quick Thinking Driver

The quick thinking driver of a milk tanker in Northern Ireland saved the lives of two car crash victims trapped in a burning car by dousing the flames with milk. When he came across the crash scene, Michael Coyle positioned his truck so he could hose the fire from the tank's rear valve.

Firefighters and ambulance arrived on the scene, rescued the trapped men, and took them to the hospital, where they were listed in stable condition. "it was down to the driver's actions that the two men were saved," said fire official Martin Jeffrey.
