NEW JERSEY - Within seconds a truck became engulfed in flames on the New Jersey Turnpike and without hesitation, Jordan Reed from Delaware County jumped into action to save the driver’s life."The gentleman who was driving was fully on fire his clothes on fire shouting help me," Reed said.While Reed's wife called 911, the local physician assistant with about a decade worth of EMT experience worked with another Good Samaritan to rescue the man from the flames.
A passing truck driver supplied a fire extinguisher. Reed says in the minutes before emergency responders showed up, he and others on scene collected water bottles from drivers to help prepare the fire victim for treatment at the hospital."I knew we had to cool him down with the degree.
