are calling two men "heroes" after they pulled a man out of a burning car. The accident happened on Friday morning in Crockett, leaving a vehicle completely engulfed in flames.
"We just saw a car on fire and I stopped to see if there was anybody in there," said Betances, who is a mechanic for the city of Richmond. His family was traveling east along Cummings Skyway in Crockett when he saw a white SUV on the Westbound roadside in flames. Hofstadler said he couldn’t just stand by when he saw someone was trapped. "It could be somebody’s kid or parent."
Betances and Hofstadler told KTVU that the driver was despondent and could not tell them whether there were other passengers in the car. Firefighters from Crockett-Carquinez and Rodeo-Hercules Fire Departments responded, who did not find any other passengers.
