ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — Police say a state trooper who was traveling with the governor of New Hampshire in Massachusetts rescued a man from a fiery crash.
Investigators say Trooper Scott Frye was traveling with Gov. John Lynch and his wife in an official capacity when they witnessed a road rage incident that led to the crash. It happened Sunday night on Interstate 93 in Andover.
They say one vehicle rolled down an embankment and trapped the driver inside.
Authorities say Lynch called 911 and Frye grabbed a fire extinguisher. Frye climbed into the burning car and an off-duty firefighter helped pull the driver to safety.
Frye was treated for smoke inhalation.
In 2007, Lynch and a trooper tried to push a woman's car out of a ditch. They needed a tow truck.
