UPPER MARLBORO, Md. – A Thanksgiving morning crash could have ended tragically – if not for the quick actions of few good Samaritans.
The Prince George’s County Fire Department say a three-car crash happened on Watkins Park drive near Keverton Drive around 9 a.m. — with one of the cars bursting into flame immediately.
Two men witnessed the crash, Johnnie Wichard of Lotian, Md., and Andrew Matlock of Upper Marlboro, Md., pulled a woman from the car that was on fire.
Witnesses tell the fire department that the fire spread to the passenger compartment just moments after the driver was pulled out.
Firefighters arrived a short time later and put out out the fire and treated the victims.
Drivers of two of the cars, including the woman in the car that caught fire, were taken to a local hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
