Neilia Arellano, one of the women who survived a weekend limousine fire, which killed a bride and four of her friends celebrating her wedding, said the driver, Orville Brown did too little to save her friends, ABC News reported.
"When he get out from that car, he just opened the door, that's all he did," Nelia Arellano, 36,told ABC News affiliate KGO-TV. "I even ask the driver, 'Open the door, open the door.' He didn't do anything.
"I even ask him, 'Help me, help me,' because I bring out my head from that compartment and say, 'Help me,' so I could squeeze myself over there and slide myself," she said Monday.
"I don't know what we could have done differently to save them," Brown said in an interview.
Brown, 46, was driving a 1999 Lincoln Town Car limousine Saturday night when it burst into flames as it crossed the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge near San Francisco.
Arellano, one of the four surviving passengers, says she tapped on the partition to alert Brown to the inferno building in the back of the limo where she and eight other women were celebrating the recent nuptials of Neriza Fojas, who died in the blaze.
"I said, 'There's already a fire. Stop the car. Stop the car,'" Arellano, 36, told KGO.
