A coroner said the actions of those who rushed to the scene helped save a woman's life
A coroner has praised the selfless bravery of people who rushed to help the victims of a horror crash on the M62. The collision involved a lorry which hit the back of a BMW in April last year, causing a large fire and the deaths of two men.
He said: "I saw a car in flames and there was nothing I could do to assist anyone inside. I noticed the flames were close to the lorry cab. I ran over and tried to open the passenger door but it was jammed. I tried smashing the window with my fist and then two other males came and broke it with a piece of wood. I saw the driver was in shock. He had cuts to his face but he was not bleeding badly.
He said: "I heard this terrific crash and the cabin was shaking. There was smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle. I moved to the hard shoulder and got out to see what had happened. "The lorry indicated to go into lane two but then started to move back. It suddenly braked hard. There was this sudden bang and explosion with flames.
