The driver of a car that crashed into a palm tree on the Las Vegas strip was pulled to safety by a cop and Good Samaritan just seconds before the vehicle burst into flames.
The incident happened on Friday afternoon around 4.30pm near Las Vegas Boulevard and Siegfried and Roy Drive, right outside the Venetian resort. Bystanders ran to the white sedan and began futilely trying to open doors and break windows before an officer partially cleared the crowd, then dragged the driver out and to safety with the help of a Good Samaritan.
