(FOX 8<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0A quick-thinking North Carolina soldier put his military training to the test Monday evening when he saved a mother-of-two from a burning car and used his body to shield her from exploding debris,\u00a0WBTV<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

Staff Sgt. Cory Hinkle was driving home from his National Guard base in Charlotte when he witnessed a head-on crash. After noticing there was smoke coming from one of the\u00a0vehicles, Hinkle began running toward it to help.<\/p>\n

When he approached the vehicle, he learned that 28-year-old Brandy Guin had broken her ankle and couldn\u2019t get out. Hinkle and fellow military man Brandon Foster were eventually able to help Guin out and place her on the grass before the car exploded, according to the\u00a0Shelby Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the fire started to spread in my car, the shocks started to explode and hot debris was flying everywhere,\u201d Guin said. \u201cHe shielded me with his body and said \u2018It\u2019s going to have to go through me to get to you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
