NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Ohio police officers smashed through the sunroof of a burning vehicle and dragged a severely injured driver to safety during a tense late-night rescue following a rollover crash, authorities said.

The Trumbull County 911 Center received a call at about 11:11 p.m. Dec. 27 reporting an unknown fire near state Route 5 and Bradley Brownlee Road in Bazetta and Mecca townships.

Cortland Police Department officers John Mosora and Chuck Lohry were first to arrive, and their swift rescue was caught on a body-worn camera after the vehicle tore through a fence, flipped onto its side and caught fire.

Mosora discovered the driver trapped inside the wreckage and broke out the vehicle’s sunroof to reach him as flames spread, police said. The driver repeatedly told officers his leg was broken and that he could not move.

“My leg is broken. I can’t move. I can’t move. Give me a second,” the driver can be heard saying in video of the rescue.

“We don’t have a second,” an officer is heard responding in the video. “Your car is on fire.”

As smoke filled the vehicle, officers urged the driver to help them pull him free.

“Let’s go. Let’s go. We ain’t waiting,” one officer is heard shouting in the bodycam video. “You gotta help me help you.”

Lohry used a fire extinguisher to knock down flames while Mosora dragged the driver from the vehicle moments before the fire intensified, police said.
