17.As evening was falling,Jane Grace and her husband,Petty,were trucking through northern Kentucky transportation auto parts from Louisville to Detroit for a goods company at dusk,"Petty,wake up!"she shouted."There's a truck on fire!"Inside the burning truck,Ronnie Sanders,38,was fighting for his life.He'd been running a heavy load of tractors and forklifts from Georgia to Indianapolis when a van in front of him stopped suddenly in traffic on the icy road.As Ronnie bore down,he could see children in the backseat.The truck's mass would probably protect him from the worst of the impact,but the force of 23tons would likely crush everyone inside the van.
"I figured instead of killing other people,I'd just put the truck in the ditch."At the bottom,rocks cut a fuel tank,which caught fire.A tree branch destroyed the windshield and knocked Ronnie unconscious.He came to life a couple of minutes later to find the cabin flames and his legs on fire.
Petty dashed to Ronnie,who was hanging headfirst from the passenger door.Ronnie had used his pocket knife to cut himself free from the driver's side seat belt only to get his boot trapped in another one.Petty climbed into the burning cab to free him.
He tried three times to pull Ronnie out before finally freeing him.But Ronnie's legs were still burning,so Petty laid him on the ground,ripped off his own shirt,and beat the flames with it.He'd managed to drag him about 20yards when one of the truck's 150gallon fuel tanks exploded.
Both Petty and Ronnie paid a price for risking their lives for strangers.Ronnie spent two months in the hospital and received skin grafts(移植) on both of his legs.Petty suffered smoke breathing and minor burns,and shrapnel from the fuel tank explosion broke a tooth.
In February,the Graces received a Hero of the Highway award from the Open Road Foundation for rescuing an injured driver.Petty insists Ronnie is the real hero:"If he hadn't gone into the ditch,he would have hit that van.It was his decision to drive off the road."
"I feel pretty good about it,"says Ronnie."A lot of people could have been hurt."
