It was one of those moments that stopped your heart on a Minnesota highway where a group of strangers turned heroes in saving a driver trapped in a burning car. The thunderous rescue took place at about 6:30 PM local time on April 18, 2024, when an out-of-control Honda SUV veered off the road and hit an electric pole before catching fire.
Racing against time and facing flames
In that muddle, Kadir Tolla, one among the onlookers, recalled how he had inadvertently landed himself there while heading to meet clients. Tolla saw the vehicle turn into an inferno but did not hesitate to act. "He (the driver) was awake. He was saying pull me out, pull me out, pull me out," Tolla told Fox News.
Tolla, with no fear of their lives being attacked by the fire, struggled fruitlessly to free her from the shattered wreck. “The flame was actually smacking us on our face, but we just jumped back,” Tolla recounted, showing how intense it could be.
However, undisturbed Tolla chose to use some leftover pieces of plastic in order to break open the car’s windows. At this point things were heating up as a highway worker smashed through it and let them save him only seconds before more flames engrossed everyone inside it. 
"Right when we got him out, the fire started going inside the car from the driver's side. I'm glad he got out in time," said Tolla with relief in his voice.
Gratefulness and contemplation
But for this terrifying incident, Tolla would not have been able to help during a critical situation like this. “This is something that I’ll never forget; It Was Just Like The Scariest Moment Of My Life; I will always remember this”, he said revealing what he has taken away from such an experience.
Despite all odds though relatively untouched throughout such intensity of the situation, it was a reflection of how fast and unselfish by-standers can be. Paramedics rushed him to Regions Hospital for evaluation in order to ensure he was okay after such an ordeal.
This story comes as a powerful reminder that within an often uncertain world, extraordinary bravery and compassion can flourish. It is hoped that as we navigate through the freeways of life we may all be motivated to lend a helping hand in times of need thus embracing the principles of empathy and humanity.
