FIREBALL HERO

Gregory and pals pull five from wreck

- SARAH VESTY

HEROIC bus passengers helped pull injured people from a wrecked car moments before it burst into flames yesterday.

Ferry worker Gregory Kilcullen was travelling to work with CalMac colleagues when a car smashed into the back of their stationary vehicle.

They jumped out of the coach and freed two trapped men from the badly damaged vehicle in Glasgow city centre.

Gregory, 52, also helped a third passenger with a nasty head wound.

Within seconds, smoke and flames began pouring from the bonnet as emergency services arrived.

All five occupants were treated at the scene by paramedics and four of them were taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Their conditions last night were not known.

The heroic actions of Gregory and his colleagues were caught on camera.
