Boy rescued from burning car in New Jersey highway median

Richard Vaughan was headed home from work with his wife Monday evening when he saw smoke rising from a car crashed in the wooded median of Interstate 295 in South Jersey. The car, a Honda sedan, had been traveling south in Oldmans Township, Salem County, when the driver lost control, State Police said. It veered into the median, hit a tree, and caught fire. Vaughan, 43, of Lower Alloways Creek, smelled gasoline when he opened his door. Running toward the wreck, he felt heat from flames as they spread over the hood and into the car’s interior.
