Mandi Whitaker Wasn't Going To Let A Woman Burn To Death

Whittaker says just a few months ago there was a crash on the same stretch of road and she's working to petition the town to put a stoplight there.

"Not even two months ago they pulled a van out of the water. Ten feet to the left of the accident that just happened," she said. "There has to be a light there. What is it going to take?"

I don't think a light is going to stop accidents when the drivers are DUI. Who's going to obey a light when you're too drunk to pull your girlfriend out of a burning car?

i wouldnt say that he was to drunk to pull her out, you have to remember he to was involved in this very horrific accident as well, and he managed to get out of the car around to her side, and get her door open whille having a broken leg or ankle .... still not ok to drink and drive and i ment a street light the news woman said stop light
 
Yeah a street light would help immensely, at least they can see what they're about to plow into.

Him aside, I'd say you're an amazing lady, your fast thinking and actions saved a person's life, and if I could give you a medal, you'd already be wearing it!
There's a lot of people who would have just stood there staring and wondering what to do, or whipping out their phones and started filming, but you acted without hesitation and got the woman to safety.
If you ever find yourself anywhere in central Florida, please let me know, because dinner and drinks for you and who ever you're traveling with will be on me for an evening.;)

You're awesome.
 
Usually, we get defenders of the various jerks and scumbags in the stories we post. It's very refreshing to have the rare treat of a visit from one of the heroes. Kudos to you, Mandi!

with that it will at least give the somewhat cognizant ones something to see and maybe break
also very good to see you here Mandi and glad you have courage and common sense! those usually aren't words we use or are deserved to people that come in from one of the stories.

Sounds like he did all the hard work. Why are you in the limelight exactly?
