On November 9, 2017 Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Dante' M. Hanns was patrolling U.S. 20 when he noticed a two-vehicle crash involving a Ford Mustang and Dodge Durango SUV near U.S. 20's intersection with County Road 198 in Green Creek Township. Hanns checked on the vehicles and noticed Jose Gonzalez, 21, of Sandusky, Ohio, trapped inside the Mustang, conscious but not alert. As Hanns assessed the situation, the Mustang began to smoke and catch fire. The vehicle's driver-side door had been damaged in the crash and wouldn't open, and Gonzalez's leg was pinned. So the trooper went to the passenger side of the Mustang and broke the window Sovereign Citizen style, pulling Gonzalez from the burning vehicle with the assistance of Registered Nurse Ginger Havlin, who had stopped when she saw the accident. As can be seen in this grainy video (which is unfortunately the best copy that exists), less than one minute after getting Gonzalez out of the car, the fire spread and the Mustang became completely engulfed in flames. Gonzalez escaped with a broken shoulder blade.... and a DUI. It turned out that Gonzalez had failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of U.S. 20 and County Road 198, and he had crashed into the Durango as he was turning eastbound onto U.S. 20. Hanns stated in his report that Gonzalez admitted to drinking alcohol before the crash. The driver of the Durango, Amanda Reyes, 30, was transported to Bellevue hospital as a precaution. Gonzales would likely have not made it out alive had it not been for the actions of the trooper. At the time of this incident, Hanns had only started his job in law enforcement eight months prior. For their lifesaving actions, Ginger Havlin and Trooper Donte' M. Hanns each received a certificate of recognition, which when you see what they did seems a bit lame, but also very well deserved.
