A lorry driver has been given a top bravery award for rushing into flames after a car crash and smashing a window before trying to save a pensioner who was stuck inside.
Robert Kirk, 48, used "brute force" to break the glass and get to retired bus driver Bernard Hopwood, 81, after the accident in Werrington, Staffordshire, on January 19.
Mr Hopwood had been driving but appeared not to notice a tractor that had pulled up in the road with mechanical problems and he drove straight into the back of a trailer, reported HullLive.
