Passersby Who Helped Victims Lauded by OH Chief

Dec. 28, 2022
Sandy Creek Joint Fire District Chief Aaron Stoller said it's fortunate the motorists stopped.

The heroic actions of several people helped save the life of a motorist on Christmas Eve after a car was impaled by a guardrail.

Sandy Creek Joint Fire District Chief Aaron Stoller lauded the passersby for their willingness to stop and help, News5 reported.

After the wreck in Minerva, the guardrail pinned the driver but the passenger was able to climb out.

"We don’t always have people to stop by and provide assistance. In this case, these people probably did help reduce the patient's injuries that he sustained and made for a quicker recovery. In small town America where we live down here, that’s still prevalent for people to stop and assist," Stoller told reporters.
