The Richardson, TX police department recently released body camera footage of a group of heroes who risked their lives to save a driver from a burning vehicle. On May 28, police officer Christopher Cruz arrived at the scene of a burning Nissan Altima to find the driver unconscious and trapped behind the wheel.
However, after breaking the window and attempting to free the driver, Cruz realized he wouldn’t be able to do it alone. The man’s leg was pinned in the wreckage, and fire threatened to envelop the vehicle.
