Jamie Foxx helps rescue man trapped in burning car

(LOS ANGELES) Who says Hollywood stars don't care about real people? Jamie Foxx cared enough to risk his life helping to rescue a stranger trapped in a burning car.

It happened Monday about 8:40 p.m. in the Hidden Valley area of Ventura County only yards from Foxx's front gate, according to the Ventura County Fire Department and a blogger who follows the department. The blogger was at the scene, posted an account and pictures on his Facebook page.

Although the California Highway Patrol report on the incident did not identify Foxx by name, Foxx's publicist, Allison Garman, confirmed the story that hit headlines in California Tuesday.

Foxx himself said nothing about it on his social media.

But according to the CHP report on the incident, a driver identified as Brett Allen Kyle, 32, of Newbury Park in Ventura County, drove his Toyota Tacoma into a drainage ditch at "a high rate of speed" and struck a drainage pipe and concrete. The truck rolled over multiple times, landing on the passenger side, and quickly was engulfed in flames with Kyle trapped inside.

Hearing the crash and screams, two witnesses near the scene, including Foxx, ran over. Foxx also called 911.

One of the witnesses (the police report does not say it was Foxx) grabbed some kind of rescue tool from a vehicle trunk, which the rescuers then used to break the window of the burning truck, cut the seatbelt and drag Kyle out.

He was treated at the scene by county fire and rescue personnel, then transported to a local hospital with what the CHP called major injuries, including burns and head, chest, neck and waist trauma.

The crash is still under investigation but the driver was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, the CHP said.
