A lonely highway, a traumatized son, and up to 20 people in need of urgent care after a horrific bus crash: that's the situation Rich Rogers found himself in Wednesday morning along Highway 39, just south of Mackenzie, B.C.

A former firefighter, he gave immediate life-saving treatment to the injured passengers until more help could arrive, reopening the mental trauma he tried to leave behind in his old career.

"Before I could blink Rich was running out of our car, down the steep bank and onto that bus," his wife Corynn wrote online.

"He didn't know what he would see in there, and I don't truly want to know all the details. I do know he literally saved several lives."
