‘Here To Help’, Texas Officers Rescue Man From Burning Truck Before Explosion Syndicated Local – CBS Dallas / Fort Worth
AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM) – Austin police officers Eduardo Pineda and Chandler Carrera rescued a man from a burning truck at an apartment complex in south Austin seconds before it exploded.
“As I was running up to the vehicle, one of the citizens started yelling out that he was still in the car. I tried to look inside the window, but there was too much smoke I couldn’t see anything,” said Officer Pineda.
He then ran to the driver side door, checked to see if the door was unlocked, then began breaking the window. That’s when Officer Carrera went to grab the fire extinguisher.
