and another man and woman were present on the scene to help the man out of the car. Of course, Osborn was a bit reserved at first because it was a burning car – at any point, it could have exploded.
"We got him out the car and that’s when I picked him up, and he’s bleeding all over my shirt and everything. I pick him up and carry him about 10, 15 yards because this way we’re away from the car a little bit. By then, the ambulance came. The firefighters got the flames to go down. The car was good. The police officers got his information and everything, and they came back and told us, ‘You saved that man’s life.
"I didn’t think it would affect me too much. I thought I would just be able to go to sleep and be fine, but I couldn’t sleep."Osborn has since been in contact with the man he saved as well as those who helped the cause. He plans on going to the hospital to check up on him, adding that he sustained an ankle injury and was bleeding from his lip.
