Flaming car ends up in Lake Zurich yard

I am somewhat upset that the motorist, who was the real hero yesterday, could not be identified by the reporter. The motorist stopped, ran to the car and cut his hand reaching in and turning off the ignition. I got there a minute or so later after calling 911. The car was smoking, but flames were not present, but we knew that we had to help the guy out of the car..which we did. I ran to my house to get a fire extinguisher, while the unidentified motorist sat with the injured driver. When I got back, the car was on fire and there was nothing to do but wait for the fire dept.

The motorist was a true hero and I wish I got his name so he could get the kudos that I have been getting...and really not deserving..

Fortunately, noone was hurt.

Mike, Thank you for helping this driver. It's nice to se strangers helping strangers these days. I would bet the police have the names.

The Guy was on drugs...the one who crashed his car.
