Citizens Lift Car, Pull Injured Man From Flaming Wreckage [VIDEO]
A group of construction workers, students, and general bystanders stepped in to save the life of an injured motorcyclist caught beneath a fiery car wreck on Monday in Logan, Utah. The video above, courtesy of NBC's Today Show, shows the group band together to lift the burning car and pull the man to safety.

According to reports, the man was identified as 21-year-old Brandon Wright and is in stable condition after undergoing surgery on Monday evening. The driver of the car was not seriously injured in the accident.

1. Wow!!! Proud to be an American!
Just a group of ordinary people who chose to do the right thing without concern over what might happen to each personally. Amazing to see and behold!

May good karma come to them ten fold for their quick thinking and unselfishness!!!

2. This brought tears to my eyes. People together can accomplish so much.

I just hope this is not Ron Paul's theoretical example of a young man without health care come to life.
