Coons from burning, Vero Beach, Florida, <br /> March 23, 2016. <br /> Coons, 58, was the driver of a car that, at a rural intersection, collided with a tank truck. <br /> Badlyinjured and trapped, she remained in the driver's seat as the car caught fire. The tank <br /> truck, which came to a stop about 10 feet away, was also burning, as was the diesel fuel <br /> that leaked from it. <br /> Responding to the scene, Sunkel, 25, on-duty deputy sheriff of Vero Beach, broke out the <br /> window of the car's front passenger door with his baton. He then opened that door and <br /> leaned inside as fire burned at the car's front end, flames reaching the windshield and <br /> dashboard. The heat was intense. Sunkel grabbed Coons but could not free her, and he <br /> withdrew from the car. <br /> 1/2 P5 <br />
