Video captured the moment a police officer and good Samaritans rushed to aid a driver after their SUV went off the road into a marsh in Egg Harbor Township. Police body camera footage showed the police officer and witnesses pulling a man from a burning car after the crash. The three put their own lives at risk to pull the person from safety.
The initial investigation shows that the driver of the SUV side-swiped a car they were trying to pass before slamming into a pole. A police officer happened to be nearby and saw the SUV go into the marsh. The victim was taken to the hospital and was said to be very thankful for the rescuer’s efforts that saved his life.
