Halton’s police chief is crediting the “quick actions” of a group of officers who pulled a man from a burning vehicle in Milton on Friday morning, likely saving his life.
Police say that a blue Nissan Versa was travelling westbound on Clark Boulevard at Philbrook Drive at approximately 2:15 a.m. when it left the roadway, slammed into a tree and burst into flames.The officers then immediately cut the man from his seatbelt and dragged him from the vehicle, police say.
"I could not be more proud of our officers in this instance, as I am day in and day out, while they go about protecting all whom we serve and protect. But in this instance in particular they put their own safety and lives at risk to save a person who had crashed and was trapped inside a burning vehicle,” Halton Regional Police Service Chief Stephen Tanner said in a statement on Friday morning.
