Davis, CA - Police body camera video shows how the quick thinking of a Davis police officer saved the life of an unresponsive driver from a car fire.

Video from the early morning hours of November 1 shows a car on fire along I-80.

Corporal Ly was the officer who responded to the crash, finding the car's engine compartment totally engulfed. He then ran toward the burning car, broke the driver's side window, and got that person out of their seatbelt, dragging them to safety.

The driver was hurt, but survived and was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Davis police say this is the second time that Corporal Ly has pulled someone from a burning vehicle.
