New bodycam footage captures the moment an officer and a good Samaritan rescued an unconscious man after he crashed his car.
The incident occurred last week in front of the Venetian on the Las Vegas strip, ABC 7 reported.
Justin Mouser and his wife were walking down the Las Vegas Strip on Friday afternoon when they saw a car ram into a palm tree in the median.
When no one got out of the car, he ran to check on the driver. Other bystanders were yelling the fire was spreading. With that news, Mouser figured he’d better hurry up.
Others were trying to help, but when the officer got there, he told people to back up.
“I don’t hear very well or sometimes act like I don’t,” Mouser said with a smile. “I probably should have listened to him, but I tried to help.”
And, that’s just what he did.
Las Vegas Officer Derek Stebbins told reporters: “If we weren’t there, I think he would’ve been burned in the vehicle. Would he have died? I don’t know, but I think he would have suffered severe burns just from how fast the vehicle caught fire.”
That driver was later arrested at the hospital and is now facing DUI charges.
