Kelly Elwood Awarded Classified Employee of the Quarter
Anvar Suyundikov, a former LOAM employee, was part of a group of people made up of students, construction workers and a produce salesman who picked up a burning BMW to save 21-year-old, Brandon Wright, who was trapped underneath. Suyundikov was nearby and rushed to help when he heard screaming. He grabbed onto the back end of the vehicle to help lift it; he then reached down trying to pull Wright from beneath the car as another man grabbed the vict im's leg to drag him out . "I was glad we could help him," said Suyundikov, a statistics student from Uzbekistan. "I'm glad he's good now." For Additional details see the Utah Statesman, the Herald Journal or KSL online.
