Sgt. Matthew Pyle, 28, was driving from his job at an Army recruiting station in Greensboro to his home in Jamestown one day in August, when he saw what looked like a large pillar of white smoke near a railroad crossing. At that point he realized there had just been a crash on the tracks.
Still in uniform, Pyle left his car and ran to the driver of the truck. He asked the driver if he was injured and if he was hauling anything hazardous.
A veteran of one tour in Afghanistan and one in Iraq, Pyle said he ran to the train to help those who were injured.
“I didn’t think about whether I should run in there. It was just instinct,” Pyle said. “If someone needs help, you just help them."
