Saudi Man Rescues 6 Teachers From Bus Caught In Flames!
In a dramatic and life‑saving act of courage on Sunday morning, Abdul Salam Al‑Sharari, a Saudi bus driver, rescued six female teachers from a bus engulfed in flames after a collision on a highway in northern Saudi Arabia!
The incident occurred around 6:00 a.m. on the Sakaka‑Tabarjal road in the Abu Ajram area of Dumat Al‑Jandal, in the Al‑Jouf region, when the teachers’ bus collided with a truck.
The impact caused the front of the bus to catch fire quickly, trapping passengers inside amid thick smoke and rising flames
Al‑Sharari, who was driving directly behind the bus, witnessed the crash and immediately stopped his vehicle and rushed toward the burning bus without hesitation.
Despite the intense heat and smoke, he broke the rear window of the bus and began pulling the teachers out one by one. Initially relying on his own strength and faith, he was soon joined by another driver and several young men who had arrived at the scene. Together, they worked in a race against time to get the trapped teachers to safety.
One of the teachers was reported to be in extreme panic inside the bus, repeatedly pleading, “Please, don’t let the fire consume me.”

Al‑Sharari said he tried to calm her as he helped her and others out of the vehicle.
His swift action was critical. Moments after the final teacher was rescued, the bus was fully engulfed in flames and on the verge of exploding, underscoring how close the situation had been to a tragic outcome.
All six teachers and the original bus driver survived and were taken to Abu Ajram Hospital for medical care, where their conditions were reported as stable
