In an incredibly tense moment caught on video, a group of strangers came together to rescue a man trapped in a burning car in Minnesota.

The Minnesota State Police told People that the crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. along I-94 in St. Paul when a Honda drifted to the right of the highway, veering off the road and hitting a light pole before bursting into flames.

Footage shows multiple cars pulling over to the side of the road and bystanders running to the car, already engulfed in flames, in an attempt to free the driver.

The driver side door, however, was blocked by a guardrail.

One of the Good Samaritans, Kadir Tolla, told Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul that the driver was screaming for help, yelling, "Pull me out! Pull me out!"

As flames grew higher, more bystanders attempted to break the driver side window with no success until "highway helper" 71-year-old St. Paul resident Samuel Orbovich was able to break the glass.

The driver was then pulled from the burning car and carried to safety.

In a statement made to People, Minnesota State Patrol Lieutenant Jill Frankfurth shared:

“The State Patrol is grateful that the driver is ok due to the heroic actions of the individuals who stopped to help. These types of incidents can happen anywhere and at any time and that’s why we always need motorists to remain vigilant."
"The actions of those who pulled this motorist from the burning car demonstrates the importance and willingness of people throughout Minnesota looking out for each other."
"We are thankful that everyone remained safe.”

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
