Sgt. Joshua Huddleston, an Army medic, kneels Wednesday near a tree where a single-vehicle crash occurred in the day's early hours in Mahomet. After hearing the sounds of the crash, Huddleston ran to the scene to assist.
MAHOMET – At about 2 a.m. Wednesday, Army Sgt. Joshua Huddleston heard the scream of wheels and a crash.
He and his brother, Joe, stepped outside into a cold, windy night and saw a flashlight in the distance. Joe went inside, figuring someone would call the fire department. Josh Huddleston ran toward it.
With no coat or gloves, Huddleston sprinted up and across the grassy berm near his parents' home in Candlewood Estates and through a windbreak of trees. He ran across Prairieview Road, to the corner where it intersects with Golfview Drive.
