VIDEO: Several Atlanta officers assisted in an intense rescue after a man's car crashed into two houses and trees early Sunday morning in the Bankhead community. Atlanta Police responded to a car fire at the intersection of Oliver Street NW and North Avenue NW shortly after 1:30 a.m. The call quickly escalated, saying that the fire was the result of a car crash and there were people still inside the burning car. When Officers W. Adams and M.Todd arrived, they saw flames coming from the front of the car, and the driver of the car was still in his seat. Both officers quickly rushed to help and saw the car's door handle was missing and malfunctioning. The officers hastily attempted several more times to open the car door without success and decided the best option would be to pull the man through the driver's side window-- which they quickly shattered.
