Ventura County Man Saved From Burning Car, Rescuer Reunite For First Time Since Accident

It’s an incredible story of a Ventura County man being in exactly the right place at the right time to save a life.

Troy Martin was driving home from work in the middle of the night when he found a burning car which had just crashed into a ditch, leaving its driver stunned and trapped inside.

KCLU’s Lance Orozco was on hand at a Santa Paula fire station as Martin and the young man he rescued saw each other for the first time since the accident three months ago.

Lance Orozco has been News Director of KCLU since 2001, providing award-winning coverage of some of the biggest news events in the region, including the Thomas and Woolsey brush fires, the deadly Montecito debris flow, the Borderline Bar and Grill attack, and Ronald Reagan's funeral.
