The drama unfolded Monday night in front of Foxx's house in an upscale neighborhood just outside of Los Angeles.
"When I get here, the truck is over on its side and it's, it's in flames," Foxx recalled.
The driver, 32-year-old Brett Kyle, was still inside.
An off-duty first responder helped Foxx pull Kyle from the wreckage as the flames grew. He was trapped by his seatbelt.
"Luckily, a guy pulls up. He has EMT scissors, hits the window, and clears the glass. I climb in and I grab the scissors from him, cut the seatbelt," Foxx recalled. "And as we pull him out, within five seconds later, the truck goes up (in flames)."

Awesome! Good job! Nice that even a celebrity would step in to help save another person.
Good story Fash. I think the world is made up of "some" people from every walk of life who will act when needed.

A lot of what we read about Hollywood is self-indulgent, self-absorbed, narcissistic pablum..
It's nice to see even in the land of make believe, people keeping it real.

I'm really impressed with Jamie Foxx for his courage and selflessness.
