Prince George's County fire officials credit two men with pulling a woman from her burning car after an accident in Oxon Hill.

Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady says the accident happened Thursday about 7 p.m. at Woodrow Wilson Bridge Drive and Indian Head Highway. A rear-end collision caused gasoline to spew from one of the vehicles and the bottom burst into flames.

Brady says David Ramadhani of Bowie, a Fed Ex driver, got a fire extinguisher from his truck and got the fire under control enough so that he and Michael Harry of Oxon Hill could unlock the car door, cut the female occupant's seat belt with a utility knife and pull her from the burning vehicle.

The rescued woman and the driver of the second vehicle were taken to a local hospital.
