2 Marine recruiters save motorcycle crash victim’s life

On Sept. 6, 2023, two Marine recruiters had just arrived at their Chicago office when they heard a loud noise outside the building.

Staff Sgts. Amilcar Marroquinsalinas and Eric Kinglewis rushed to the sound, according to a Marine Corps release.

A mangled motorcycle lay on the side of the road, debris littered the road from curb to curb and the driver of a car that had hit the motorcycle was shaken, possibly in shock.

The motorcyclist lay motionless on the road. Though a crowd of people had gathered, no one was helping. Some were even recording the scene on their phones.
