LOGAN, Utah -- A man is saved from a fiery crash

]in video that you have to see to believe it happened.

You can watch as bystanders gather together to save a man's life.

He was riding a motorcycle in Logan, Utah when it slammed into a BMW and both vehicles caught fire.

When you watch the video, you can't see the rider, 21-year-old Brandon Wright, because he's trapped underneath the front of the car.

As the flames grow, several bystanders jump into action.

They lift the car up, so that a couple of other people can get to Wright and pull his limp body out from under the car and away from the flames.

He was unconscious and rushed to a hospital where he was in critical but stable condition.

Logan police say they're working to recognize the people whose actions saved this man's life.



Got to admire their tenacity!

Just saw the guy, Brandon Wright, riding the motorcycle when a BMW hit it on the news just a few minutes ago. He is conscious and talking to reporters. He says the people who lifted the car to save him should be commemorated.

I've seen this on the news more than once. Goes to show you, the notion of loving your neighbor is still alive and well.
