Seattle police rescue convicted felon from wrecked car before flames engulf vehicle, bodycam video shows

Police in Seattle rescued a convicted felon, who had warrants out for his arrest, from a burning car after he crashed into a tree while trying to elude officers on Monday night, authorities said.

The car was later located in the area after crashing into a tree on the residential street. The driver, whose name was not immediately released, was still inside the wrecked sedan when officers arrived.

The impact from the collision sent car parts, including a tire, flying across the street and into nearby fences. Debris also damaged an unoccupied vehicle and at least two homes, police said.
