Dr. Collette first turned off the engine, and then had to peel the windshield back in order to rescue the front occupants.

“I personally don’t view myself as a hero. I think I did what anyone else would have done, if put in that same situation. I try to think about what would I want if it was my family in a situation like that,” said Dr. Collette on KSN News.
