A Guy On a First Date Saved a Man From a Burning Car

A 21-year-old guy in Winnipeg named Tristan Gareau was driving a girl home from a first date earlier this month, when they saw a car that had just crashed into the side of a HOUSE.

Hero Meets Crash SurvivorThey stopped to see if everyone was okay, and realized the 65-year-old driver was still inside, unconscious. Then the front of the car caught FIRE.

Tristan’s only about 135 pounds, and the driver was more like 220. But he says his adrenaline was going, and he somehow managed to pull the guy out and drag him to safety. Then a few seconds later, the whole CAR was engulfed in flames.

The driver’s name is Steve Guy, and he’s already out of the hospital. He got to meet Tristan last week to say thank you, and told him he’s sorry if he ruined his date. But Tristan said it actually did the OPPOSITE.

He and his date are together now . . . he referred to her as his “girlfriend” when he talked to the local news. He also said she’s REALLY into him, and joked that if you want to impress someone on a first date, saving someone’s life isn’t a bad way to go.
