Heroes Who Saved Crash Victim Sought

ORLAND PARK, IL -- A group of heroes remain unidentified two days after they worked together to save the life of a woman who was injured in a car wreck Saturday afternoon near 159th Street and Will Cook Road in Orland Park.

Several bystanders stopped to render aide and "literally hold a car in place from completely rolling on its roof" after the single-vehicle accident, according to an Orland Fire Protection Agency Facebook post.

"These people risked their lives to save a person they've never met," Fire Chief Michael Schofield said. "I'm grateful for their actions."

Schofield also praised the actions of Mark Krizik, a firefighter from nearby Posen, who arrived on the scene to treat the injured victim until additional emergency units arrived.

Anyone who knows the individuals who helped save the victim should contact Schofield at the Orland Fire Protection District at 708-349-0074.
