Driver thanks 2 men who helped her out of danger

My sincere and heartfelt gratitude to two courageous and quick-acting men who rescued me when my car flipped over. It felt so good to hear their voices. They saved me from hanging upside down, and potentially being stuck in my car with a fire starting on the air bag.

This was Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 5 p.m., at Clearview Mall and Route 8.

Now instead of getting their names and thanking them once I am out; I asked them to retrieve my phone, shoe and purse, as they tried to move me because the air bag was on fire (which I hadn’t noticed). They must have been thinking (while trying to keep me safe), what a ditzy woman this is.

The Good Lord sent them to me and He kept me safe.

My prayers are with them and their families.

Carmela Collongues, Butler
