A SPONTANEOUS ASSEMBLY OF NEIGHBORS AND PASSING MOTORISTS sprang into action Wednesday night to save a woman and an infant from a raging car fire.

The incident began when a drunk driver ran a stop sign and crashed into an auto broadside that was carrying two women and the 1-yr.-old baby.  The cars both careened across the highway and broke out in flames.  Immediately a swarm of citizens converged on the burning auto and heroically beat back the flames while breaking into the car and pulling the victims out while it was in full blaze.

Robert Singleton, 47, was one of the rescuers who got thevictims out of the car. 
“We were strangers coming together to help strangers,” Singleton said. “It was pretty crazy.”
