[Bolduan:] A truck driver is lucky to be alive after a horrific accident and exPLOsion caught on tape. Two tractor trailers collided and burst into flames on the New Jersey Turnpike. The driver jumps from his cab. You can see his leg is on fire. Australian tourists took video of the whole thing as they also ran to help the man. That driver is still in the hospital being treated for his burns. Those good Samaritans, Jacqui and Anthony Wilson and Simon Byrne, are joining me now. Unbelievable to see all this. Thank you. It's great to meet you all. Simon, when you see this video, it's hard to believe that anyone survived. You were right there. Walk us through what you saw.
[Simon Byrne, Rescued Driver:] As soon as the trucks collided and blew up, we slammed on the brakes. I ran out toward the cab and was not expecting anybody to come out. The flames were 30, 40 feet high already. All of a sudden he jumped through the flames and landed on the ground and started running towards me. My sister started running down when she saw him come out as well. Then it was trying to get the planes out.
[Bolduan:] Amazing. Jacqui, we can see you in the video running towards him. At the moment the truck driver jumped out, his leg on fire, what did you think?
[Jacqui Wilson, Rescued Driver:] My first priority was to get the flames out and run down and help him. He had a belt on and his jeans and shoes and socks. We thought if we don't get the jeans off it's going to engulf him. Get his jeans off and just try to hold his hands and he was saying I had had nowhere to go. We were trying to get the flames out.
[Bolduan:] Anthony, what was the driver saying throughout al of this? When you guys all got to him?
[Anthony Wilson, Rescued Driver:] He was telling Jacqui he had nowhere to go. He was on the left-hand side of the barrier. Sort of in shock. We're all in shock when it happened. Sort of jumped in and ran.
[Bolduan:] Absolutely. When you see this part of the video, I don't think you can see this, but you came upon a very dangerous situation. You can see other cars passing by throughout all of this. Why did you all decide to stop?
[Byrne:] I mean it happened right in front of us. We were the first car. You see a massive accident like that and check to see if you can do anything. You got to try to help him. The other guy just wanted to get out of there. It's a very dangerous situation. The truck kept on exploding. They kept going up every 10
[Bolduan:] I'm bet you never expected to be heroes and come to their safety, right, Simon?
[Byrne:] Yeah. I've been here 20 years and my sister and brother-in- law, I just brought them back from D.C., for a visit. So we were coming back from D.C., they haven't seen each other in six years, so we had a great couple of days in D.C. And then we're 20 minutes from home and this happened. So it was an experience.
[Bolduan:] To say the least. After all of this and when you see this video once again, what do you make of it?
[Byrne:] Well, we weren't thinking at the time that we're pretty lucky it didn't explode when we were standing next to it. We were one lane away from the truck.
[Jacqui Wilson:] The main concern for all of us is that the truck driver is OK and I have heard he's speaking from hospital saying he has got burns on 25 percent of his body. So he's someone's father, someone's husband, he's got family. So I would I like to think somebody would do the same thing, a family member of mine, if they were in trouble.
[Bolduan:] It's amazing. And so thankful, I'm sure that man is so thankful today that you were all there. You all stopped and helped him out. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Thank you so much.
[Byrne:] Thank you so much.
[Jacqui Wilson:] Thank you.
[Anthony Wilson:] Thank you.
[Bolduan:] Thank you. We also have some very big and very good news coming for the Bush family. Jenna Bush Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush and first lady, Laura Bush you see them right there Jenna Bush Hager gave birth to her second child yesterday. Poppy Louise Hager is her name, named after her grandfather. Former President George H.W. Bush's nickname from when he was a child is Poppy. Congratulations to the Bush family on that little addition. Absolutely adorable. Coming up for us, the Iowa State Fair is a political rite of passage, bringing together the best of fried foods, butter sculptures, and White House hopefuls. The big question there speaking of Bushes can Jeb Bush regain his momentum there?
