Myers, where a driver lost control of his car, jumped a curb and slammed into a light pole. The vehicle burst into flames, and Dorken, who is on vacation, was able to pull the man from his burning wreckage. The victim got away with minor burns, cuts and bruises. A report on NBC-2 in Ft. Myers accounts the crash:
