Two Brown County Sheriff’s Deputies are being hailed as heroes for pulling a man out of a SUV after it erupted in flames in a crash.
Investigators say the driver deputies saved early Wednesday morning was drunk, and Action 2 News has obtained dash cam video of the moments officers jumped into action to save the man’s life.
Deputies were called to a Bellevue neighborhood just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
“There was a witness that saw the car crash and reported it that they saw the vehicle started showing flames,” said Captain Dan Sandberg of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.
Within three minutes of that call, Sgt. Chris Tappen pulled up, with his dash cam rolling, and he ran to the SUV, where flames were shooting into the air inches from the driver’s door.
