Teens Pull Injured RCMP Officer Out Of Cruiser

Story out of British Columbia:

Two teens from a small town in northeastern B.C. didn't think twice about rushing to help when an RCMP cruiser flipped into a telephone pole earlier this week.

Kaiden McGowan, 16, and Tanner Merrick, 17, were eating dinner with McGowan's parents in Pouce Coupe on Tuesday when they heard a truck roaring down the road outside.

"It was really loud," McGowan told The Huffington Post B.C. "Then they blew past my house with the cops right behind them."

Next thing you know, the power went out.

McGowan and Merrick rushed down the street and found a mangled RCMP cruiser on its side.

"We knocked on the window and he didn't answer ... I thought for sure he was gonna be dead."

McGowan said there was a small fire burning on the engine, but that didn't worry him.

Together, the teens pried open the crushed driver's side door, and the Mountie was able to pull himself out. Cont.
