Narrative:

I had just landed on runway 17 at 8y2. I came to a full stop and made a call to taxi back. As I turned around I saw a seminole heading towards me with one wheel locked up. I proceeded to taxi into the grass and clear of the runway until the seminole came to a full stop. I then taxied off onto the taxiway and clear of the active runway. I parked my C152 and learned that the seminole was on an emergency landing with both engines out and had made no radio calls.
