A Lake Station police officer and a Good Samaritan rescued a driver from a fiery car crash Thursday night.
Police said Sgt. James Lamprecht was on duty in an unmarked vehicle around 11 p.m. when he saw a car speeding westbound on Fairview Avenue and then blowing the stop sign at Grand Boulevard as it turned south.
Sgt. Lamprecht was flagged down by the Good Samaritan just north of the bridge on Grand Boulevard, where he saw a dark SUV down the southwest embankment. The SUV had flames coming out of the front where the engine was. Lamprecht cut the seatbelt and pulled the driver out and, with the help of the Good Samaritan, began dragging him up the embankment. Other officers arrived to help them.
Sgt. Lamprecht injured his knee during the rescue and the department said he will not be working as he recovers.
