KILGORE – A Longview man was rescued from his burning vehicle early Wednesday morning. Christopher Chadwick, 23, flipped his SUV on Danville Road, just out side of Kilgore. He contacted a police dispatcher who was able to determine his location. The vehicle started leaking gas and caught fire. This caused shotgun and hand gun ammunition in the trunk to discharge. Kilgore police were able to contain the fire until firefighters and emergency medical personnel arrived and were able to free Chadwick from the overturned vehicle. He remains hospitalized today.
