When LAPD motor officer Tyrhone Ragland got to Armanda Renee Donnelly about 4:30 Thursday morning, her Lexus 3000 was off the Santa Monica Freeway at La Brea, on its side and on fire. She was trapped. Ragland called for fire trucks and tried to keep the flames away from her. Once the fire was doused, it took firefighters a half-hour to free Donnelly. This is how the Lexus looked after they got her out, righted the car and brought it back to the pavement. Amazingly, Donnelly had no major injuries. "That morning, Ms. Donnelly's guardian angel was riding a Police Motorcycle," Brian Humphrey wrote at the LAFD blog.
