LEAWOOD, KANSAS: Police in Kansas have been hailed as heroes after they bravely intervened to rescue a woman trapped beneath a flaming car. The heroic act was captured on bodycam video. On Monday, November 14, Leawood Police received a report around 2 pm of a 51-year-old female driver who had hit another vehicle after failing to stop at the intersection of Tomahawk Creek Parkway and was stuck inside her flaming car after crashing into a tree.
Bodycam footage shows the dark-colored automobile flipped onto its passenger side as bright orange flames erupt and begin to approach the trees. Three policemen and one fireman rushed to the scene before an officer shouted, "Over here." A set of blue-jean-clad legs could be seen sticking out from under the flaming car. Leawood, which is about ten miles south of Kansas City, Missouri, is where the incident happened. Policemen groaned together and one grabbed at the woman's legs as they battled to lift the car off her. The woman can be heard stuttering nervously as one of the officers reassuringly says, "We got you."
