Travis Air Force Base website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe three technical sergeants from different units were all headed back to Travis Air Force Base when they each came across the scene of a horrific vehicle crash in Dixon, California<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver was trapped in his car with the engine in his lap, <\/b>many broken bones and his body was severely crushed into the steering wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tech Sgt. Adam McDonough, 60th Maintenance Squadron electrical and environment systems section chief, ran over and started providing aid to the man. He was unresponsive and initially, McDonough assumed he was dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While assisting the other driver in the Ford, a series of cries came from the Toyota as the car began going up in flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tech. Sgt. Kelly Manibusan, 60th Healthcare Operations Squadron executive officer and medical technician, began tending to the flames engulfing the Toyota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnce I got out of my car another person and I were quick to pull the pin on an extinguisher and put out the flames,\u201d said Manibusan. \u201cI did as much aid as I could, but he didn\u2019t respond to me because of a language barrier,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manibusan had been driving home after leaving work later than usual that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, another Travis airman heading home from work, Tech. Sgt. Paola Fay, 60th Surgical Operations Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of echocardiography and certified respiratory therapist for the heart, lung and vascular center, arrived at the crash scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fay spoke Spanish and was able to break the language barrier and continue aid for the injured victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI asked his name, explained he had been in a crash, put him in position so his airways would be clear,\u201d Fay said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen I just stayed with him and tried to keep him from losing consciousness,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man sustained severe injuries making each movement fraught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McDonough and Fay assisted each other while removing a sheet of glass from the crashed vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Manibusan directed attention to the Ford\u2019s driver in effort to provide aid until first responders arrived on scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst responders care for crash victims after a Toyota RAV4 crashed into a Ford F-250 on the intersection of Highway 113 and Hawkins Drive June 16, 2021, in Dixon, California, just a few miles north of Travis Air Force Base. Three technical sergeants from Travis AFB pulled over to assist and help sustain life for the victims until first responders arrived.

After 20 minutes of the three airmen providing aid and support, first responders arrived at the scene of the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ford\u2019s driver was taken to the hospital in a cervical spine collar, after the jaws of life removed him from the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTraining kicked in for all three of us-every piece mattered, no matter how small,\u201d said Manibusan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile one of us was tending to a driver, another one of us tended to the fire, and another one of us tended to the other driver,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to California Highway Patrol Public Affairs, both drivers survived the crash with serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs I left the scene, I began weeping,\u201d said McDonough. \u201cI cried in my wife\u2019s arms when I got home, the next Sunday was Father\u2019s Day and all I could think about was how that man was not going to be able to hold his kids or toss them in the air like I do with my young daughter. Thankfully, he\u2019s alive,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Travis Air Force Base website the three airmen encouraged people who may find themselves in their shoes in the future to trust their training and instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know until recently that he had survived until running into Sgt. Fay,\u201d said Manibusan. \u201cNow that I know that he survived\u2026it\u2019s a miracle, and it definitely teaches you to appreciate life a bit more,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three airmen were all recognized within their units for helping the crash victims, 2nd Lt. Amelia J. Chromy, a base spokeswoman, told Military Times in an email on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the award process takes time, it is possible that the Airmen may receive an award in the future,\u201d she said. \u201cTravis Airmen are always ready whether on or off duty, and as one of the Airmen is quoted in the story, \u2018I didn\u2019t get out of my car and tend to the driver for recognition.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
