An Illinois State Trooper pulled a teenager out of a burning car minutes before the fire completely consumed the vehicle.
The auto accident occurred on I-57. The teenager lost control of the vehicle, veered off the road, and hit a tree. The Chrysler sedan caught fire immediately on impact.
Fortunately, the State Trooper arrived on the scene just as the auto accident took place. Had he not been there, the teenager most likely would have burned to death in the car. Unfortunately for the teenager, the trooper was on the scene because he had been pursuing the teenager for driving a stolen vehicle.
The boy was transported to a local hospital after being pulled from the car. When he recovers from his burn injuries, he will have to face charges for possession of a stolen vehicle.
