TO COMMEND STEVE SAXON OF SIMPSONVILLE FOR HIS BRAVERY IN RESCUING A GIRL FROM A BURNING CAR AND TO EXTEND AN INVITATION FOR HIM TO VISIT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Whereas, Steve Saxon of Simpsonville was a neighbor who allowed a passing motorist to use his telephone to call for emergency help on Sunday, February 10, 1991; and
Whereas, he returned to the scene of an accident with the motorist who witnessed the accident on Fork Shoals Road in Simpsonville; and
Whereas, upon arrival at the scene, it was found that the car driven by Arthur Alexander had slammed into a tree killing him and leaving his daughter in the car; and
Whereas, the car was engulfed in flames and eight-year old Jennifer was screaming for her daddy; and
Whereas, Mr. Saxon's instincts as a father of four girls caused him to rush to the back seat door and reach into the front seat to pull Jennifer out; and
Whereas, Jennifer Alexander was saved from the fire and has been released from the hospital; and
Whereas, the Greenville County Council has recognized Mr. Saxon for his heroic endeavor and he has been called a hero by County Coroner Charlie Garrett; and
Whereas, Mr. Saxon put his own life on the line to retrieve Jennifer from the burning wreckage. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly commend Mr. Steve Saxon of Simpsonville for his heroic act in saving Jennifer Alexander from a burning car and extend an invitation to him to visit the General Assembly at his convenience.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Saxon.
