KINDRED, N.D. (KFGO) - Three people have been recognized for their heroic actions after a fiery crash on I-29 last July.
Anastacia Hermes of Kindred received the Good Samaritan Award and the Highway Patrol Colonel’s Award of Excellence. Troopers Adam Malafa and Jed Dahnke both received the Bravery Award and the Distinguished Service Medal.
On July 26, 2016, all three risked injury or death to pull 63-year-old Dennis Herr from his vehicle. Herr had been going the wrong-way on I-29 when he hit a bridge end at the Wild Rice River crossing and his car burst into flames.
Herr did not survive the crash.
