Gary J. Bolton saved Julie D. Given from burning, Peterborough, Ontario, June 29, 1993. Ms. Given, 18 , was trapped and unconscious in her inverted car after a highway accident at night. From his home nearby, Bolton, 25, college student, responded to the scene, where he attempted unsuccessfully to smother the flames that had broken out on the exposed underside of the car. Bolten then entered the smoke-filled car through its passenger dorr for Ms. Given, who was trapped between the driver’s seat and the steering wheel. He attempted to push the seat away, but it would not move, nor would the steering wheel. Bolton grasped Ms. Given by the arm and, after some difficulty, freed her, then pulled her from the car. Others who had arrived carried her away from the car, which was shortly engulfed in flame. Ms. Given was hospitalized 10 days for treatment of extensive injuries. Bolton recovered from lacerations and contusions. 68000-7831
