"I went down with my flashlight and noticed there was a guy in the car. The car was already burning in flames so I did what I could and went in there and pulled the seat belt over his head and just kind of dragged him out, and everybody else came down, this gentleman, too, to help pull him away from the car," said David Dulkis.
Boxes of ammunition were found all over the crash site. The SUV was the only vehicle involved.
