EL MONTE, Calif. (KABC) -- A Good Samaritan is being hailed as a life-saving hero after a daring freeway rescue.

John McDonald said he was on his way to work in Venice as he drove past the burning car, flipped on its side on the 10 Freeway.


Three people were able to get out of the car on their own, but a 3-year-old girl was trapped inside. That's when McDonald stopped his car and pulled the girl from the burning vehicle.

"Honestly I don't think about that stuff too much it just sort of happened. I think most people would have done it if they were in my position," said McDonald.
