Good Samaritans Save Elk Grove Teacher From Burning Car

ELK GROVE (CBS13) – A teacher is alive thanks to the quick work of two Good Samaritans who leaped into action when they saw a car fire in Elk Grove.

Olivia Grover says she was headed to work on Highway 99 when her car burst into flames.

She quickly got out, and just as quickly a man showed up and started to douse the flames. Then another man with a fire extinguisher showed up.

"My adrenaline started pumping, and honestly I don't remember the car or what she looked like, I just knew I could handle it," said Keith Buyers, one of the Good Samaritans.
