Firefighters on Vancouver Island say a logging truck driver saved another man's life after a pickup truck slammed into the back of the fully loaded rig before bursting into flames.
"He definitely saved his life," said North Oyster Fire Capt. Kristopher Hill on Wednesday morning. "The scene might have looked a lot different if he hadn’t of done what he did."
Just after passing the Cedar Road intersection, Wilson says he "felt a great big bang in the back of the truck." "There was a bit of a fire underneath the hood and I grabbed the fire extinguisher and started exhausting it," said Wilson.“[I] tried to use fire extinguisher after, but the fire just took off and everyone just got out of the way," he said."The pickup truck was fully involved with the logs starting to catch on fire," said Hill.
