Jamie Foxx rescues person from burning car
Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx pulled someone from a burning car last night after an accident took place nearby his home outside Los Angeles, a member of Foxx’s team confirmed to ABC News today.
“Jamie didn’t hesitate. He jumped out and ran to the car,” a member of Foxx’s publicity team told ABC News of the incident and how he pulled the person from their vehicle.
Police have not stated that it was Foxx who stepped in to help, but the Ventura County Fire Department confirmed separately that it responded Monday night to an accident fitting the description, which is still under investigation. First responders transported the person in the accident to a local hospital, the department said.
Additionally, a police report says a 32-year-old man was driving his Toyota Tacoma when he hit a “drainage ditch,” causing the vehicle to roll many times over and 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, noting that the driver was eventually “arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.”
Details of Foxx’s heroics are still coming in, but this comes just a week after he presented at the Golden Globe Awards. Foxx, 48, was at the awards ceremony with his daughter Corinne, who was Miss Golden Globe.
“#daddydaughtertime…..still celebrating my daughter. Great week this week. Miss golden globe,” he wrote on Instagram next to a photo of him with her two days ago.
Foxx hasn’t yet commented about what happened to the person in the crash.
