Federal authorities in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil prevented smugglers from escaping in a cargo plane by crashing into the wing with their car.

Brandon Wright, the 21-year-old student whose life was saved when a group of strangers pulled him from beneath a burning car, is in recovery  at a Murray, Utah hospital, ‘Today‘ reports.

The driver hightailed it out of sight and that’s when the real fun started.
