East Windsor honors heroes
By Matt Chiappardi, Staff Writer
EAST WINDSOR The night Officer Paul Wille’s patrol car struck a utility pole and tree he couldn’t see the faces of the six people who pulled him out of the vehicle seconds before it burst into flames.
”I heard them, but I couldn’t turn around to see anything,” he said Tuesday. “All I heard were voices and felt myself being pulled out of the car.”
On Tuesday night, Officer Wille, 27, was finally able to see the faces belonging to those voices when he met the people who saved him from the wrecked car that could have claimed his life during a meeting of the Township Council.
”No words can describe how I feel,” Officer Wille said about meeting his rescuers. A few moments later he simply said, “It feels great. I’m glad to finally put faces to the names.”
The six people: Kyle Cornelius, of Old York Road, Kelly Davis, of Monmouth Junction, Mattieu Dutraix, township address unlisted, Jeffery Lang, of Allentown, Terrence Nish, of South Brunswick, and Shannon Scott of South Brunswick were recognized by the township Tuesday evening. Mr. Lang had an engagement he could not break and was not able to attend the event, Mayor Janice Mironov said.
