A Madison police officer and a bystander pulled a driver out of a burning car early Saturday.
The officer was responding to a report of a person slumped in a car at about 4:00 AM when a second caller reported the car was smoking.
All of the doors were locked and the driver couldn’t get out on his own.
The officer broke out a window and unbuckled the driver’s seat belt as flames started to burn through the dashboard.
He and a bystander managed to pull the victim out of the car seconds before it became fully engulfed in flames.
The driver, whose name and medical condition haven’t been released, is being treated in a hospital.
