Watch: Heroes help man escape SUV that is on fire

On New Year’s Day in Corpus Christi, Texas, police and a group of good Samaritans helped save a man from a terrible fate.

According to authorities, the man's car was hit by a wrong-way driver and flipped on it’s side, leaving the 70-year-old driver trapped. As his car caught on fire, a policeman and some onlookers stopped to save him. More good Samaritans joined the cause and, eventually, they were able to push the burning SUV upright.

The wrong-way driver has been reported dead, but police say that it was the kindness of strangers that saved the other man.
