Toyota has offered to replace a brave nurse's bakkie with a brand new one after saving the lives of countless nurses in the deadly California fires.
According to Tire Meets Road, Allyn Pierce seriously damaged the outside of his car to help with the quick evacuation of patients. He was also one of the unfortunate residents to lose their homes as flames continue to devastate large parts of California.
Images of the bakke show melted rear lights and side-mirrors while the bodywork is charred. Autoblog reports that he thought his life was coming to an end and he recorded a message to his family.
