A selfless man who bravely fought to save the victims of a horror crash on the M62 held a dying driver's hand as other rescuers saved his daughter from the burning wreckage. Steve Wroe was one of the witnesses who desperately tried to help after the crash between a car and an HGV near Goole last Wednesday, reports Hull Live.
Tragically, two men died in the collision. Steve has spoken out to make sure one victim's family knew that the man who died was aware his daughter was safe before he passed away. The 59-year-old from Huddersfield was travelling on the M62 on Wednesday morning when he came across the accident.
He said he and a group of men scrambled to save a teenage girl from an HGV engulfed in flames, and a man, thought to be her father, who was in the driver's seat. Despite Steve's best efforts, he could not free the man. But he stayed with him, holding the man's hand and making sure he knew that his daughter was safe and had been rescued, before he died at the scene.
