Florida Teens Rescue Couple from Flaming CarBy MATT GUTMAN (@mattgutmanABC) and CARLOS BOETTCHER SANFORD, Fla., April 6, 2012 www.yahoo.com

Luke Vaughn and Cody Decker started the night as hapless spring-breaker teens locked out of their condo, but the two 17-year-olds ended it as heroes, dragging the victims of a horrific crash from their burning vehicle Tuesday night.

The two high school seniors had been trying to activate the electric gate at their rental condo in Palm Coast, Fla., when a Jaguar X series careened past them at what they estimated was 100 mph, slamming into a pair of trees. Immediately, Luke called 911 and Cody began sprinting toward the car.

"They were begging for their lives," Luke said, "yelling, 'Get us out, it's hot, come on.' You just immediately do everything you possibly can to get them out of the car."

"The two local high school teens asked the couple, that they just pulled from the car, if they could buy the underage teens beer. The ambulance then arrived and ruined their spring break"

'Get us out, it's hot, come on.'

Good job young ones! Although 100 mph-I do not think so. A Jaguar, or any car for that matter, going 100 mph and hitting a stationary object like a tree would probably look like a soda can crushed underneath your foot after the crash. The car might have been doing 50 or so but that would probably be it. That's still one heck of a crash and dramatic rescue though.
