Teens on spring break rescue couple from burning car

4/6/2012

A typical spring break turned into a rescue mission for two high school seniors when they pulled an injured couple from their burning car. Luke Vaughn and Cody Decker were outside their Palm Coast, Fla., condo when the vehicle sped past them, smashed into some nearby trees and burst into flames. The cool, collected teens calmly called 911 and worked with another bystander to rescue both people from the fiery car before emergency services arrived. "If I watched two people burn to death, I would be haunted by that for the rest of my life," says Vaughn. The driver and passenger are in the hospital being treated for their injuries, but they're alive -- thanks to these hero teens.
