Jamie Foxx channeled his inner actor — rescuing a trap motorist from a burning car – without Hollywood backdrop.
The Oscar-winning actor rushed to help a drunk driver, who rolled his pickup truck into a drainage ditch near his home.
Officers say the driver, 32-year-old Brett Kyle, was drunk and speeding about 8:30 p.m. Monday when he careened off the road and into a ditch, striking a drainage pipe and concrete that caused the 2007 Toyota Tacoma to roll over multiple times and burst into flames.
Foxx, who won a Grammy for his 2009 hit “Blame It (On the Alcohol),” and another witness ran to the burning wreckage, broke a window and cut the seat belt to pull Kyle from the truck, the CHP said.
Fox’ daughter tweeted about the rescue.
Just got off the phone with my dad… Absolutely wild. That man really did have angels watching him. Definitely a life or death situation.
