Fox News
Retired NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne is recognizing the good Samaritans who helped respond to a Pennsylvania highway accident before emergency crews could arrive.
According to Pennlive.com, Kahne, fellow racer James McFadden and about a dozen others got out of their vehicles and rushed to the scene to help, with Kahne using a fire extinguisher from his tour bus to suppress the flames as they worked to remove the passengers from the burning vehicles before emergency crews could arrive.
All three victims were brought to a local hospital, where the wrong-way driver, Michael Hoy of Daytona Beach, was pronounced dead. The driver of the pickup, Randy L. Deibelbi of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, succumbed to his injuries and died on Tuesday. His passenger is in critical condition.
As many of the news reports in the days following the accident began to focus on Kahne's involvement, he used the attention he was getting to salute the other people who risked their lives to assist the injured.
