WILLIAMSBURG — As part of our countdown to 2025, WYDaily is revisiting its most-read and favorite stories of the year.
Coming in at No. 10 is a story about the quick action of a passing motorist who helped save a local truck driver’s life.
On March 26, Eric, a driver with J.S.G. Corporation, was driving eastbound on Interstate 64. After blowing a front tire, Eric lost control of the fuel transport truck, which collided with the median and took out several trees before rolling over. Eric was pinned in the cab as diesel fuel began pouring out of the truck before igniting near his head.
That’s when a witness to the accident, Catie Burnett, swung into action.
