Missouri State Trooper Rescues Driver From Burning Van Near Boonville

In my experiences with the Highway Patrol in both Kansas and Missouri- their troopers have always been consummate professionals- class acts and just damn nice people.

The BOONVILLE (MO) DAILY NEWS reports that a van caught fire on I-70 in Cooper county Wednesday morning- and a trooper- identified in the article only as "Officer Doza-" pulled the male driver "in his 50's or 60's" out of the window of the burning van.

There's no mention in the BDN story if either the trooper or the driver of the burned van was injured.
