This is a case of a 21 year old man whose name was not released who was in the right place at the right time in Myrtle Beach on Sunday evening who risked his life to assist a female driver who crashed her auto into a building near The Market Common when she failed to make a left turn on a roundabout on the road. The female driver then crashed into a building after her car hit a natural gasoline connection which caused the fire that threatened to end her life. To be fair with the female, the cause of the accident may have been due to the road being dark and she has eyesight problems which may have caused the accident. The stranger did manage to drag her out of the burning auto and into a safe place. The kind of sad part of this story is that after the female driver did get released, she was cited by the police in Myrtle Beach for a traffic violation of failure of the right of way.

She was lucky the man was there and saved her life She shouldn’t drive after dark with bad eyesight. I hope her license won’t be taken away but she should be warned not to drive after sunset.

I also hope that the city officials just warn her to be more careful driving in the streets at night from now on.

@Deepizzaguy And they most likely did give her a warning.

She was lucky indeed, the man is her savior. But she should have taken precautions if she had sight problems. Perhaps, the county has a responsibility to put signs as well for gas lines?

It is likely that the county in South Carolina needs to place signs for gas lines on the road since it is common for some roads not to have warnings to drive carefully on the road.

I would say that the female driver had her guardian angel in the man who saved her in the fiery crash.
