Jamie Foxx Saves Driver From Burning Car Outside His Home (PHOTOS)

Jamie Foxx to the rescue! On Monday night, Foxx sprang into action when a car skidded on wet roads, flipped upside down and burst into flames outside of his Hidden Valley, Calif., home, according to TMZ. When the 48-year-old actor heard the accident, he ran outside to the scene when he realized the driver was still buckled into his seat. He then unbuckled the man and dragged him about 30 feet away as he was afraid the car might explode.

Prior to pulling the man from the vehicle, Foxx called 911, according to People. Police and fire crew arrived shortly after, and the victim reportedly suffered burns. He was then rushed to the hospital to be treated.

"Jamie didn't hesitate," a member of his publicity team told ABC News. "He jumped out and ran to the car."

According to the police report obtained by ABC News, the 32-year-old man driving the vehicle, which was reportedly a Toyota Tacoma, hit a "drainage ditch," which is what caused the vehicle to roll over several times and then burst into flames.

"Two witnesses that were near the collision scene ran to the burning, overturned truck in an attempt to free the driver," police said in a statement. "The driver] was eventually arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol."
