STAFF REPORTER



"Satwinder Bajwa thought he was about to die as flames entered the passenger compartment of his crumpled cube van.

He started to pray, hoping for a miracle but ready to meet his maker.

Then, suddenly, the driver's-side window was smashed. Darren Coogan, 29, reached inside, grabbed Bajwa and dragged him out of the service vehicle through the shattered window.

Seconds later, the truck mechanic's van burst into flames.
