Wednesday, May 18th, 2016 Auto Liability

A dash cam camera in an Anchorage police cruiser caught dramatic video of an officer and four citizens rescuing a man whose arm was trapped under a burning sport utility vehicle. The video released Tuesday is agonizing to watch at times as the man screams: "Oh my God! Oh my God!" The vehicle had rolled onto its right side Sunday. The unidentified driver, who hadn’t worn a seat belt, had his arm trapped under the passenger side of the vehicle. Officer Mitchel Veenstra and two or three volunteers rushed to the car, which was smoking heavily, and tried to pick it up off the man but were unable.
