The Minnesota State Patrol is looking for a motorist who helped a trooper pull a semi-truck driver out of his burning cab to safety on Monday afternoon.

The trooper was holding traffic for a funeral procession on Highway 60 at 400th Ave. in Windom when the semi-truck driver failed to stop for traffic and rear-ended another stopped semi.

With the striking semi in flames, the trooper and Good Samaritan ran to the burning truck and pulled the driver to safety.

Thanks to the actions of the trooper and Good Samaritan, the truck driver is recovering from significant, but non-life threatening injuries.

The trooper believes he would not have been able to rescue the injured semi-truck driver without the help of the Good Samaritan.

The State Patrol wants to find and recognize the man for his heroic actions.

Anyone with information should contact the Marshall District office: 507-476-4020.
