Summary
A fiery crash on I-64 near South Charleston claimed one life but sparked a heroic rescue: Kris Pelfrey, escaping his own wrecked dump truck, plunged into flames to save a dog trapped inside the burning semitrailer. Using only touch in choking smoke, he pulled Hennessey to safety just as the vehicle became lethal. Though bitten by the terrified pup, Pelfrey’s bravery saved a life—and Hennessey, now recovering at the humane society, even bonded with her rescuer’s family through video, healing in more ways than one.
