A young man and a teenager are being hailed as heroes after they rescued a police officer and a pickup truck driver from a fiery crash in South Philadelphia.

The crash happened on Saturday evening at 28th and Tasker. Police say the officer was on his way to an emergency - with the cruiser's lights and sirens active.

Police say the officer approached the intersection "with caution" but was hit by the Toyota Tacoma pickup as it made a left turn.

17-year-old Joseph Chambers, who is a volunteer firefighter in Ridley Park, Delaware County, was visiting his sister near the scene of the crash when they heard a loud bang.

I really hate it when articles are written so that every damn sentence is its own paragraph.


Both the cop and the driver of the pick-up are expected to be ok. Awesome that these two guys rushed in to save the cop and the driver of the pick-up truck! I don't know what went wrong with that cop car to just explode like that.

Gah, now I'm going to be nervous for awhile every time I drive that my car is going to blow up into a fiery ball of flames, and with my luck nobody will be around to haul my crispy fried butt out.
