Dramatic bodycam footage released Monday captured Virginia Beach police officers working together to pull a driver from a car engulfed in flames, CBS News reports.
The bodycam footage starts with a car passing an officer at 88 mph in a 35 mph zone, according to police.
The officer is seen activating his emergency lights, after which the speeding driver turns off his lights to try and elude the officer, police said.
In compliance with the department's pursuit policy, the officer stopped pursuing the speeding vehicle, switching off his emergency lights and slowing down his car, according to police.
Footage shows the officer encountering the car after it crashed into a tree and the engine caught fire.
The officer used a fire extinguisher to attempt to douse the flames, but it was ineffective.
A second officer arrived, and after about four minutes they were able to break through the glass and unlock the door, police said.
The officers then pulled the driver — who was the only passenger in the car — out of the vehicle to safety.
The date and tome of the incident were not disclosed, and it was redacted from the video.
What should every officer include in an IFAK? Sydney Vail, M.D., a veteran trauma surgeon and former SWAT surgeon, explains which components are needed and which are not, and stresses training.
