Caught on video: Officer, good Samaritan pull trapped driver from burning car on Las Vegas Strip

Investigators say the driver of a BMW crashed into a palm tree in the center median.

The footage shows the officer and a good Samaritan pulling the unconscious driver out of harm's way, right before the car burst into flames. The driver was taken to the hospital for treatment, and the officer was also treated for smoke inhalation.Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.

Surprised that it’s a Beemer to go into combustion! Bc it’s usually Teslas 🧐smh idk bc I’ve only driven Beemers for like years now I’m concerned. Glad driver was saved.

Why can’t you use the word “and?”

Totally rad. Just saved them. 😳👍💪💪⭐🏁🥇

Was the driver black?

Amazing video!

The 🚖 (taxi) driver tho 👀. Glad the girl is safe

I think the driver was driving drunk, but fortunately some kind people helped him, otherwise there would be a threat to life

That taxi in the background looked like it was about to run over them. Nothing too surprising there.

nice work. Excellent to see regular citizens acting alongside first responders. We can all be first responders, when needed.

A BMW, let me guess the guy was driving like a douche along Las Vegas Blvd?

That's straight outta a movie

Hope they don't protest over this one. Media: Black man dragged out of vehicle by white cop...next at 11!

People drive crazy on the strip, they are driving on crack

What’s with that taxi driver and the other car moving forward ?

Forgot to show how casually and slowly he was about the car on fire before this clip.

🙏🏼💙🙌

Great work officer.

You forgot to say it’s a Tesla.

👍

Bystander did all the work. Cop would have beaten the driver.

👍👏👏👏 Cops are not all killers....🤫

IS THAT A BMW?

…great job Blue! 🫡👊

This is what police officers and other first responders do. They help people and protect society. Keep high standards, quality training with corresponding high expectations.

Prediction: officer will be sued and there will be 2 marches against him b/c he was too rough.

How someone can possibly hit a palm tree driving on Las Vegas Blvd. is a mystery to me… Guaranteed he was DUI.. Kudos to this cop and the bystander for saving this idiots life

Surprised he didn’t just beat the driver to death per usual. Cops are scum.

Too bad this gets little to no coverage.

That’s racist

Glad the cop took a break from beating people.

martingonz20 Only did it because the private citizen was there. Cops are awful.

And no one else help…. 😔

Thank God for that officer !!

Not all hero’s wear capes 🫡

You didn’t mention the brand – so it can’t be a Tesla …

This happens 1000 times every year. 99.99 percent of our police are hero's every day.

👏🏾

The bystander pretty much did all the work

Shocking PoliceBrutality 🙄🙄 MemphisPolice PoliceReform

Cop is white, driver is black.

Now there’s something you don’t necessarily see everyday on LV Strip! 😱🙌🙌the driver recovers quickly! 💪❤️
