In a remarkable act of bravery, a group of bystanders in Minnesota, USA, came to the rescue of a 71-year-old man trapped inside a burning car on the I-94 highway.

The incident, captured on video and shared on social media platform X by user Collin Rugg, has quickly gone viral, garnering nearly 15.9 million views and widespread acclaim.

The driver, identified as Samuel Orbovich, found himself in a dangerous situation after his car caught fire following a crash.

As the flames intensified, he became trapped inside the vehicle, unable to escape.

However, a group of good Samaritans stepped forward, risking their own lives to save him.

The video footage shows the courageous bystanders rushing towards the burning car despite the intense heat and flames.

They managed to open the door, all while enduring the scorching temperatures and being obstructed by the guard rail.

Eventually, they successfully pulled Orbovich to safety.
