"We did everything that we could," he said.
Jordan said he moved a 10-year-old away from the burning car.
He said he also performed CPR on the man who was driving it.
Police said the man was traveling the wrong way on the Wonderwood Bridge, and got into a head-on crash with a Volkswagen.
Officers said a teenage girl was driving the 10-year-old. They were taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Police said the wrong-way driver died at the hospital.
While it’s still unclear why the driver was going the wrong way, Jordan wants the man’s family to know they tried to help.
"Everyone there was truly trying their best, doing everything they could to save his life," he said.
