Idaho Statesman, the team comprises mostly of 13 to 14-year-olds. They helped Alan and Margaret Hardman, both 65, of Winnemucca, Nevada, who escaped with some broken bones and bruises. Ms Hardman was driving her husband back after a medical procedure.
"I'll tell you what - I don't know how we would have done it without them," Alan Hardman told Idaho Statesman. "They didn't even hesitate."
