Two men whose car crashed and burst into flames on Interstate 664 this morning were taken to a hospital along with a man who stopped to help them.
The crash happened shortly before 1 a.m. near Bowers Hill, state police dispatchers confirmed.
The two men were in a Dodge Viper that left the road, hit a tree and caught fire, state police told WVEC-TV this morning. A tractor-trailer driver and another man spotted the flaming vehicle and stopped to help.
The tractor-trailer driver grabbed a fire extinguisher and kept the flames from spreading while the other man pulled the men out of the car, a trooper told the TV station.
The two men suffered injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening and were taken to a hospital, according to the station. The man who pulled them out of the vehicle also suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The tractor-trailer driver wasn’t injured.
No other details about the crash were available shortly after 5 a.m.

WOW
Hope all are doing okay. Some great people are still around.
good job
good job for making a smart mouth comment when two people were in an accident that could affect them for the rest of their lives. save your mindless comments for yourself or someone equally pathetic who wants to hear it.
Lucky that the two men acted so quickly and courageously
It warms the heart to know that we still have people out there willing to help others, risking their own lives in the process. Driver and passgenger in Viper hopefully realize how very lucky they were indeed.
Great job
Great job to the good samaritans that stopped and helped!
