MEDINA TWP. — Driving along Seville Road on a Sunday morning in March, Debra Stitt was on her way to the grocery store when she saw a sight she described as “surreal” — a compact car had crashed into a boulder nearly the size of the vehicle, trapping the driver inside as the car began to catch fire.
“I just stopped my car, jumped out and did what I had to do,” Stitt said.
After an unsuccessful attempt to open the passenger-side door, Stitt was able to pry open the driver’s door and pull the 18-year-old man out of his 2006 Kia Spectra.
