''A Utah motorcyclist who was pinned under a burning car, expressed his gratitude on Tuesday for the help of strangers who lifted up the the 4,000 pound (1.8 tonne) vehicle to rescue him, in an act of bravery captured on amateur video. Authorities said 21-year-old Brandon Wright was riding his motorcycle on Monday near the Utah State University campus in Logan when he collided with a black BMW that was pulling out of a parking lot. Tyre and skid marks on the highway indicate that Wright laid the bike down and slid along the road before colliding with the car. The bike hit the car's hood and bounced to the ground, while Wright, who was not a wearing helmet, slid under the car and then both vehicles burst into flames, police said. Wright was pinned to the ground as the flames began to engulf the car. The video shows a crowd of about 10 men and women gathering around the burning car and motorcycle as flames shoot into the air. Quickly the group places their hands on the car and starts to rock it until it tilts up on its side.Once the car is on two wheels, a construction worker can be seen dragging a spread-eagled Wright from under the car.

Can't have been him. If I'd been the driver I'd be chuffed that I could finally push that SOS button on the roof.

Good work-People are great sometimes!
The rider did well to survive,what with the Policeman just leaving him on the carriageway and not checking to see if he was alive-and then half covering him with his BCF fire extinguisher,which kills the oxygen in the atmosphere!

I know, Surely someone there was a qualified first aider and could have seen to him right away!?

I think they should in this country and the US invest in training for everyone (compulsary) in first aid training.

If you could make a difference then surely its worth it.

I dare say that in America everyone is shit scared of giving any kind of first aid incase they get sued for something.... attempted rape or something like that.

I think is quite unusual that bystanders actually got involved. Well done to them.

Why did they just walk away after getting him out, he wasn't moving and they left him right by the black smoke.
