According to reports, a sergeant was on his way home when he spotted the vehicle on fire. Speaking on the incident, Seargent Lance Andreson had this to say:
"I never took that road to go home before. I was going back to leave a report at the office," explained Sgt. Lance Anderson, "There were so many coincidences that morning."
He believes he was meant to save a life that day.
On the video, the police could be heard telling the man that they might have to break his leg in order to free him from the burning car.
After the intense struggle, an officer explained that the man's pants were stuck, so he cut his pants and that's what freed him.
Jonathan Morales-Fuentes has since had several surgeries and is home recovering.
