"I took an oath to help serve the United States, foreign and domestic, so when I was there, I realized that I was the only one there at the time who could help.CARY, N.C. — A Fort Bragg soldier is being hailed as a hero for rescuing three people after a weekend collision in eastern Chatham County.
A car and an SUV collided on O'Kelly Chapel Road near Cary on Sunday afternoon when, according to the State Highway Patrol, the SUV driver tried to pass another vehicle. "I heard the giant explosion. It sounded bad.
I got on 911 immediately without even seeing it," said John Spurrell, who was working in his backyard at the time. By the time Spurrell ran to the road, he saw the front of the car smashed in and flames erupting from the SUV, which was on its side.
He also saw a man in a Captain America T-shirt running into the fire to drag the SUV driver to safety. Army Capt. Steve Voglezon was off duty and on his way to a shopping mall when he came upon the crash.
Even though he has only basic first aid training, the missile defense officer said his instincts kicked in as he pulled the driver out by his belt and, together with three other people, carried him away from the wreckage. read more here
