A South Carolina officer helped save a driver s life in Charleston County on Monday, pulling him from a pickup truck that was ablaze.
Cpl. Griffin Allison with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources told The Post and Courier he was driving on U.S. Highway 17 near Awendaw on his way home from work when he saw a fire in the distance.Â
As he got closer, he realized a pickup truck, which had been in an accident with a dump truck, was on fire, and the driver was still inside.
A few people in the dump truck were already trying to assist the man, and Allison rushed to help them. He said the dump truck s driver managed to get the other driver out of his seat belt, and together they pulled him from the vehicle.
