Police patrol officers Billy Whitehead and Raymond Harrison arrived and saw smoke and flames coming from the truck. The officers broke the back window of the truck and extracted both the 24-year-old passenger and the 27-year-old driver out of the truck.  According to officers at the scene, both men were dazed from the crash and unable to free themselves from the burning vehicle.  The passenger was still strapped into his seatbelt when officers pulled him from the wreck.

CCFD medics responded to the scene and examined both men, but neither had any significant injury.
