Watch Cops Rescue People Trapped in Burning Car!!!
Published
New York State Troopers and an NYPD officer jumped into action upon seeing a burning car on the side of a roadway … pulling several people to safety in a shocking video.
The NYPD’s official X account shared the clip Tuesday morning … explaining the incident took place back on March 22 on the Grand Central Parkway — a major throughfare running through Queens.
The video — cut together from body cam footage — begins when an officer arrives on the scene … relaying the situation through a dispatch radio before jumping out of his car. His partner hands him a fire extinguisher and the two rush toward the burning vehicle.
Watch the video … while they work on dousing the flames, one of the troopers uses a tool to shatter two windows … allowing another officer to pull several civilians out as the fire rages.
It’s a struggle to get all three people out of the car … but eventually the officers manage it, and it doesn’t appear anyone was seriously injured.
The NYPD wrote “This collaborative effort saved lives” … and, after watching the video, it’s impossible to argue that point.
