Two good Samaritans helped save a man from a burning car in Milford July 28, according to Milford Police.
A vehicle went off the roadway and struck a tree on West River Street near Wolf Harbor Road around 8:30 p.m., police said. The crash caused serious front-end damage and the vehicle started to burn.
The vehicle’s operator managed to crawl out, but wasn’t able to move far from it, as he had suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries to his legs and hips as well as having other internal injuries. Jake Tymon of Fairfield and Mark Bernier of Milford dragged him away from the vehicle.
The injured operator was transported to a local hospital for his injuries. The Milford Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was completely destroyed, police said.
