On July 7, 2015, Christopher Hay, Jeffrey Stewart and Francis Underwood rescued two men following an accident on a highway near Peterborough, Ontario. Mr. Hay approached the first vehicle, pulled the injured driver out through the driver’s side door and dragged the man to safety. Meanwhile, the second vehicle’s engine had caught fire, and after Mr. Underwood kicked in the rear window, he and Mr. Stewart reached in to pull the victim out of the truck before it became fully engulfed in flames.
