A Greenfield police officer last week pulled an injured woman from a vehicle that had started to burn after a traffic crash that had pushed it onto its top.
Officer Blake Crull was on routine patrol about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 9 when he encountered the crash scene in the 4200 block of East U.S. 40. Crull stopped and ran toward the vehicle, discovering an injured woman was trapped inside.
Crull pulled the victim, identified as Heather L. Fischer, 36, of Greenfield, to safety through a side window. Moments later, a Greenfield Police Department news release said, parts of the engine compartment began exploding.
The woman was taken to IU Methodist hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of a second vehicle was arrested and faces several charges, including drunken driving. He was identified as Arturo A. Casimiro, 46, of Indianapolis.
GPD released this footage from Crull’s dashboard camera. Here is footage from his body camera
