'Get Out of the Car': Officer Pulls Driver From Flames
Davis, United States – A police corporal smashed a window and dragged an unresponsive driver from a car engulfed in flames after a crash on Highway 80 in the early hours of Sunday, November 1.
Body camera footage released by the Davis Police Department shows Corporal Pheng Ly running toward the car as flames pour from the engine, breaking the driver's window and reaching inside. "Get out of the car," he shouts again and again as he pulls the man out and away from the fire.
Ly was called to the crash on eastbound Highway 80, just east of Richards Boulevard, after hearing that one of the cars was smoking, police said. He unlocked the door, unbuckled the driver and woke him before pulling him clear.
The driver was treated for his injuries and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said. It was the second time Ly has pulled someone from a burning vehicle.
