Police in Utah are searching for a group of construction workers, students and bystanders.

I hope they find them all and hold a parade or something to honor them.  Awesome.

I saw that this morn and thought that it was incredible! It's great to see people helping out and getting it done!

The dude on the bike was VERY lucky. Maybe next time he'll wear some gear!   :o

Kudos to those folks but to be honest, I am not surprised that they did that. I have always believed the tales of people's misbehavior are far greater than the misbehavior itself. Given the chance, <most> people behave very well and will generally 'do the right thing' to the best of their ability.

Terrific video at any rate- glad to see someone caught those folks 'in the act'.

Awesome display of courage.....America is still a GREAT country!!  I also heard this morning that  the biker's surgery went well and apparently he is going to be OK.  Thank God....

I watched the video and was impressed.

But then I wondered why no one was checking his vitals after they pulled him out from under the car? CPR could have been started. Hmmm...

A local college student, but not smart enough to gear up.
Lets hope they put brians in with the surgery.
Ride safe all, and ATGATT, please.

Yep, I wondered about that as well.  Just pulled him out and left him looking like he was making a snow angel on asphalt.  I'm sure someone eventually looked after him, though.

Saw him interviewed on TV  He's not as FUBAR as you would think after having a burning car parked on his chest. Says he's gonna be a helmet advocate now.

Why?  Apparently you don't need it. 

Just kidding.  I wouldn't want to go through that even with my full gear which I ALWAYS wear.  Nothing scares me as much as fire.  You'd be lucky to survive that even with full armor.  I'm guessing that the guy in the background in the suit who appears to be doing nothing, is the driver of the car.
