“Take a look again. Within two seconds the car hits, the pump falls and the fire erupts.” [Via ABC News]
Fortunately the seasoned cop was able to get away before running towards the Toyota to pull the driver out and away from danger.
Vescio was injured, as a result of the incident but he has since returned to work. As for the 69-year-old male driver of the Toyota, he reportedly went into diabetic shock right before losing control of his car. Thanks to the efforts of Vescio, he is alive and recovering.
