A hero's welcome?

Ben Kelly

Last month, 17-year old Ben Kelly and some of his friends were driving around when they came upon a serious car accident. A stolen car had earlier raced past them, and had run through a construction zone, crashing into earth moving equipment. With its two occupants unable to exit and fire engulfing the vehicle, Ben led the charge to rescue the driver. It was too late for him, but the teens were able to rescue the passenger, who had been severely burned. The passenger survived. Ben was called a hero by the police on the scene. Ben's boss also had something to say.
