Two Michigan teenagers pulled a Palm Coast couple from a burning car Tuesday morning after a single-car crash on Palm Coast Parkway at Linear Park, according to a Flagler County Sheriff's Office report.

Cody Decker and Luke Vaughn, both 17 and both of Dewitt, Mich., told deputies they were at the entrance of Canopy Walk in Palm Coast around 12:52 a.m. when they saw a vehicle speeding past them.

Seconds later they heard a crash and saw the mangled 2002 Jaguar on fire, according to the report.

The two ran to the scene and saw the driver, Carlos Adams, 42, and his passenger, Tracy Lopez, 44, trapped inside the burning car. One of the teens broke the glass on the vehicle and bent the door frame down to remove the couple before emergency crews could get to the scene.

"These actions of these teens may have saved the lives of this couple," said Flagler County Sheriff Donald W. Fleming. "They stayed calm, acted quickly and removed the victims and themselves from danger. These young men deserve our thanks and recognition."

Deputies said the Jaguar struck two trees and almost separated into two pieces, and the engine fell out of the car, according to the report. The car landed in the median and caught two trees on fire.

The Palm Coast Fire Department extinguished the fires, and the Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.

Officials transported Adams and Lopez to Halifax Medical Center in critical condition. They remained in critical condition as of Tuesday afternoon.

The teens were treated for minor injuries to their hands.

Sheriff Fleming will recognize Decker and Vaughn during a 10 a.m. ceremony Thursday at the Palm Coast VFW on North Old Kings Road in Palm Coast.
