James E. Banks rescued George J. Haeck, Jr., from burning, Duncansville, Pennsylvania, September 17, 1980. In an accident that resulted in his sedan being pinned by the cab of a trailer and a dump truck loaded with asphalt, Haeck, 51, was partially covered with asphalt that poured into the automobile. Flames had broken out at the cab and were spreading to the sedan when Banks, 22, truckdriver, ran to the automobile and broke a window. He extended his upper body into the sedan and with difficulty pulled Haeck free of the asphalt. Banks removed Haeck from the automobile shortly before it was engulfed by flames. Haeck recovered from burns he had sustained. 57713-6532
