Driver who left woman in burning car is a hero for his brother

Saeed Ahmad, 23, who left Harleen Grewel , 25, trapped inside a burning, crashed car on the Gowanus Highway in Queens, New York, is a hero according to his younger brother Waheed Ahmad.

‘He did not just run away from the scene. He lost his phone in the car [and was] unable to call the ambulance,’ Waheed told the New York Post.
Ahmad crashed a 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan into a concrete barrier Friday morning and Grewal, 25, sat burning inside the passenger’s seat, police said.
‘He tried to get her out. That’s how his hands and his legs and his neck got burned. He couldn’t get her out. The fire got too crazy. It just burned so quick,’ said Waheed.

Saeed Ahmad was in pain and since the ambulance wasn’t coming he asked the taxi to take him to Maimonides Hospital in Borough Park, his brother said.
Police tracked Ahmad down to the hospital where he was charged with criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene of an accident, aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle and speeding.

The 25-year-old girl’s incinerated body was discovered by police in the front passenger seat after fire fighters extinguished the flames.

Ahmad, of Brooklyn, and Grewel were driving westbound on the Gowanus Expressway near Centre Street when the young man lost control of the car and struck a concrete barrier and the car burst into flames.

His father called him crazy, and questioned why he didn’t call the cops, according the Post. ‘Why not call 911?’ Mohammad Azam said of his son, Saeed Ahmad, who has admitted to drinking before he smashed the vehicle into a concrete barrier on the Gowanus Expressway Friday.

The vehicle burst into burst into flames and Harleen Grewal was left trapped inside to burn to death as Ahmad hailed a cab to a nearby hospital.
