Heroic FedEx driver rescues man trapped in burning vehicle on side of California highway moments before car explodes into flames
2023-07-27
[MAIL] A FedEx driver pulled a man from a burning vehicle on a Southern California highway early Wednesday morning after noticing the car smoking on the side of the road.

The incredible rescue happened on Interstate 15 just before 3am when the driver of a Toyota Camry slammed into a guardrail and the car caught on fire.

A passing FedEx driver noticed the smoke and pulled over to help the driver and any other passengers just before a series of additional explosions from the car.

ABC 10 San Diego caught the moment the FedEx worker pulled the man from the vehicle just seconds before the explosions added flames to the blaze.

'As soon as I saw the car, it was still actively on fire. You gotta stop to see if you can do anything at all,' the driver told the outlet.

#3  When I lived in California, I was surprised at the high percentage of vehicle accidents that resulted in a car becoming a flaming marshmallow. I lived there before EVs. I moved away in 2015 so it was not a Pinto thing.
