Passing motorists save woman from burning car

Passersby are being praised for saving the life of a woman after she rolled her vehicle and it burst into flames early Sunday morning along Route 61 in West Brunswick Township. The crash occurred just after 5 a.m. as she was traveling north and apparently lost control with the unit rolling, coming to rest on its roof in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle burst into flames at which time passing motorists were able to free her from the wreckage. The north bound lanes of Route 61 were closed between Route 895 and the Deer Lake exit for two hours. State police at Schuylkill Haven are investigating the incident.
