The cops managed to pull the woman over the passenger seat and out of the back door.

Savannah Fire firefighters arrived soon after and extinguished the blazing car.

Police spokesperson Roy Minter said: “I am so proud of these officers for their actions when responding to the scene.

“They literally ran toward the flames and worked quickly as a team to not only remove the passenger from the car, but get her to a safe location.

“Had they not acted as they did, the passenger in the car could have suffered more serious injuries or even lost her life.”

The woman and the driver were taken to hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

According to a preliminary investigation, the driver, named as 18-year-old Jaydon Brown, swerved into the opposite lane and hit a streetlight and tree before crashing into another tree head-on.
