Austin Cops Rescue Man from Burning Truck Seconds before it Explodes

Two police officers in Austin, Texas, pulled a man from a burning truck just before it exploded Monday.
Officers Eduardo Pineda and Chandler Carrera responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a truck on fire with a man inside.
Pineda immediately ran to the truck, discovered it was locked and smashed open a window, as seen on body-cam video released by Austin police.
Carrera grabbed a fire extinguisher first, but when he caught up to Pineda at the truck, he realized it wouldn’t help much.
“My original plan was to use the fire extinguisher as [Pineda] pulled him out to try to avoid anyone from being hurt,” Carrera told local CBS affiliate KEYE. “But it became apparent that he was a pretty big guy and he may be stuck in the vehicle. So, I just dropped it and pulled him out from there.”
The two cops then hauled the man out of the vehicle and dragged him clear of the blaze. The truck became entirely engulfed in flames seconds later.
Police said the man suffered a sudden medical emergency and became stuck with his foot on the gas and the car in park, causing the tires to spin and start the fire, KEYE reported.
Firefighters arrived minutes later and put out the blaze before it spread to nearby apartment buildings.
The unidentified man was hospitalized with serious smoke inhalation damage, according to local NBC affiliate KXAN.
