The video of a young man trapped beneath a burning car on Monday shocked the country, but it was the bravery of those who risked their lives to save him that has equally captured the world's attention.

Brandon Wright, 21 of Richmond, Utah, is expected to make a full recovery, and told family members on Tuesday that he thought he was going to die in the fiery wreck.

"He did remember being under the car and the flames and when he couldn't talk he was scared to death. He thought it was over," revealed his uncle, Tyler Riggs, reported ABC4.com.

The Utah State student was on his way to college on Monday morning when he laid his motorcycle down on the pavement to avoid colliding with a BMW that was emerging from a campus parking lot.

Unfortunately, the two vehicles still collided and Wright was trapped underneath the 3,800 pound car as his bike burst into flames -- and what happened next has defied belief of all those who have seen it.
