Justin Mouser was in Las Vegas last week on a vacation with his wife from Kentucky. It was the middle of the day and they were exploring the famous Vegas strip.
They were shocked to watch a car smash drive up on to the elevated median and ram into a palm tree!
Justin says LVPD officer Derek Stebbins warned the crowd to stand back from the crash, but he felt he had to rush in to help anyway. Thankfully he did! He saw the car was catching fire. He yelled for the officer to help him and the pair quickly worked together to pull the unconscious driver from the front seat, freeing him only seconds before the car was engulfed in flames.
The driver was reportedly taken to the hospital, where he was charged with a DUI, failure to maintain lane and proof of insurance charges, but he owes his life to these two men. Mouser and Stebbins are being called heroes for their efforts. Stebbins says, “He’s just as much of a hero as I am from just wanting to stick around and help get that gentleman out.”
