The fire was extinguished by the hose of a cement mixer, and fire extinguishers from nearby 18 wheelers.
The woman was then extracted from the wreckage by the civilians as rescue personnel arrived, and she and her disabled sister, who was removed from the wreckage early, were airlifted from the scene.
