Heroic Hoosiers Honored

Monday November 2, 2009

Chivalry isn't dead. Two local men, Robert Skaggs and Lonnie Hood, were honored by Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard in a ceremony prior to today's Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium for their heroic efforts in rescuing the driver of a propane tanker that exploded on the northeast side Oct. 22. The men were working at a nearby apartment complex when they heard the crash, and they selflessly rushed to pull the 70-year-old driver from his burning truck minutes before the explosion occurred.

And speaking of the Colts, they posted their seventh victory of the season, beating San Francisco 18-14, to remain undefeated. The New Orleans Saints are the only other NFL team that can make that claim, with a record of 6-0. Way to go Colts!!
