A traffic stop on a Texas highway turned into a life-saving rescue when Southlake Police Officer Joshua Swisher pulled a driver from a burning vehicle just seconds before it was engulfed in flames.

The entire rescue took less than 30 seconds. Fortunately, the driver suffered no serious injuries, and Swisher received recognition from the Southlake Police Department for his heroic actions.
