SEPTA workers help save motorcyclist after crash
By Mike Newall

Inquirer Staff Writer

John Solecki, a 51-year-old SEPTA revenue manager, was checking e-mails at his Second and Wyoming office when he heard screeching tires and a crash through his closed window.

His secretary, Cookie Ridley, then screamed: "He's on fire! He's on fire!"

Solecki stopped checking e-mails. He didn't believe what he saw.

"I saw a motorcycle and its operator engulfed in flames," he said.

Seconds earlier, Walter Rivera, 24, of Feltonville, had been speeding his Suzuki north on Wyoming, down a hill from an old railroad bridge, when a woman driving a car made an illegal U-turn, police said. Rivera skidded into the car, sparks and flames flying. The bike burst into fire. Rivera was trapped underneath, unconscious.

SEPTA security cameras captured the Wednesday morning accident. The cameras also caught the brave and frantic actions of Solecki and his coworkers, who helped save Rivera from burning to death.

Seeing the flaming man, Solecki, of Abington, ran to help.

Joseph Benedict, 49, a SEPTA supervisor from Lower Moreland, and Stephen Boon, 48, a revenue manager from Delaware County, were also at their desks when they heard the crash. They were preparing to interview a candidate for a part-time job.

"The sound was so loud, I thought it came from inside the office," Boon said.

They followed Solecki outside.

Solecki and a neighborhood resident grabbed Rivera by his arms and dragged him from the flames, toward the curb.

Rivera was helmetless and wearing shorts.

"His legs were on fire," Solecki said.

Solecki took off his plaid work shirt and swiped at Rivera's legs, but they kept burning.

"The fireman said he had gasoline on his legs," Solecki said.

Leaving the office, Boon had grabbed a fire extinguisher. He handed it to Benedict, who was ahead of him. Benedict pulled the pin and sprayed Rivera.

He put out the flames on Rivera, then sprayed down the bike, but the fire was growing.

A crowd had gathered, and within a minute or two, Rivera regained consciousness.

"He was screaming in pain," Solecki said.

Firefighters and paramedics responded in about seven minutes.

Rivera is in critical condition with third-degree burns, police said.

Rivera's family visited the office to say thank you, but they missed Solecki and the other men who rushed to help, Solecki said.

Boon said he could not bring himself to tell his wife about what he saw until Thursday morning. He has a 11-year-old daughter and didn't want to scare her, he said.

It was the second time Solecki and his crew had rushed to a downed motorcyclist's aid.

A year and a half ago, in a similar accident, another motorcycle driver crashed into a car making a U-turn at the same spot and was badly hurt, Solecki said.

"It's a dangerous intersection," Solecki said.

Thursday, the trio of SEPTA workers tried to catch up on work.

They didn't think they were heroes.

"You see someone in that predicament and you just try to help," Solecki said. "How could you sit there and watch someone burn to death?

What you don't see in the you tube video is the woman driver pulled over in a space in front of the car parked to the curb.

Wow, lucky those people reacted so quickly.

Holy crap.

He's lucky he (presumably) didn't have any spine / neck injuries. Having to get dragged like could have ended pretty badly if he did.

Stay safe out there.

Rivera was helmetless and wearing shorts.

omg. hope he makes a speedy and full recovery

The bike never flipped over and he was not trapped under it. She needs to be fired.

With that said, Yay for strangers! They worked faster than some track marshals.
