Field Training Officer Doug Richards
He was driving home from a shift with MPPD and came across a fiery scene around 1:30 a.m. on I-26 near exit 209.
A car crashed with another truck causing the car to burst into flames.
“I saw a car that was wrecked in the road. I saw a fire in the engine compartment,” said FTO Richards.
He immediately jumped into action grabbing a fire extinguisher from his patrol car and running towards the car. “I went to the vehicle, checked to see if anybody was in the vehicle, didn’t hear anything at first,” he recalled.
“She was afraid. I wanted to ensure her that I was going to do everything I could do to make sure she was safe, to get her out of the vehicle,” he said.
Are you the only one in the vehicle?” asked FTO Richards.
“Yes I am,” the woman responded.
“I’m gonna try to get you out.”
“I can’t move…I can’t…”
The crash caused the woman’s foot and legs to get wedged under the steering wheel.
“Please help me,” she cried.
“It’s okay, I got you,” FTO Richards responded.
“I don’t wanna die.”
