4 injured in fiery crash; Good Samaritan speaks out

ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -

Four people are recovering in the hospital after a fiery crash in Orange County. It happened on Narcoossee Road near Emerson Lake Boulevard just after noon on Monday.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a Mercury Marquis driving southbound on Narcoossee Road lost control and sped over the median into oncoming traffic. The car hit a lawn care box truck right near its diesel tank, causing an explosion.

Troopers said both vehicles caught fire and several people were stuck inside. That's when Good Samaritan Stuart Chaffin rushed into action, pulling people out of the burning vehicles. Some of them were on fire as well, so I threw them down and helped put them out by rolling them and pulling off their clothes, Chaffin said.

Northbound Narcoossee Road was shut down for hours Monday while crews cleaned up the scene.

The four people hurt during the wreck were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center for treatment. Two of the victims remain in critical condition, while the other two are listed in stable condition.
