A semi-truck is engulfed in flames after an accident between the semi and a disabled vehicle caused it to flip. Four Coast Guardsmen, with Coast Guard Sector Mobile, witnessed the accident, called 911 and quickly responded by pulling the unconscious truck driver from the semi-truck cab before it was engulfed in flames, and rendered first aid until local emergency medical services arrived on-scene.
