Jamie Foxx Pulls Driver from Burning Car After Accident Outside L.A. Home

Jamie Foxx is being hailed as a hero after he pulled a man from a car that burst into flames after wrecking in front of the actor's Los Angeles home on Monday. The 48-year-old star called 911 and pulled the driver 30 feet from the burning car to safety, according to TMZ.

The accident reportedly occurred when the 32-year-old driver of a Toyota Tacoma, later identified as Brett Kyle, lost control of his vehicle on the wet pavement and struck a drainage ditch. The truck reportedly flipped several times and burst into flames.

California Highway Patrol officers said the Oscar winner called 911 when he heard the accident outside his Hidden Valley home, rushing outside to help the driver of the vehicle.

Police confirmed to Gossip Cop, "Two witnesses that were near the collision scene ran to the burning, overturned truck in an attempt to free the driver. One of the witnesses retrieved a rescue tool from his vehicle allowing the two citizens to break the window, cut the seat belt, and extricate the driver."

The driver, who suffered head, neck, and chest trauma, was later "arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol."

Foxx's rep confirmed the incident to ABC News, stating, "Jamie didn’t hesitate. He jumped out and ran to the car."

The actor's heroic act comes a week after he was a presenter at the Golden Globe Awards. He attended the awards ceremony with his daughter Corinne, who was Miss Golden Globe.

Foxx posted on Instagram, "#daddydaughtertime.....still celebrating my daughter. Great week this week. Miss golden globe."
