Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx rescues young man from burning fire

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx has helped rescue a young man from a car fire outside his California home

Foxx and the victim's father, who met and talked on Tuesday, said that Foxx and one other person pulled a man from his burning truck moments before it became engulfed in flames near Foxx's Southern California home.

The California Highway Patrol said the pickup went off the road in unincorporated Ventura County then went into a ditch, rolling over multiple times and becoming engulfed in flames with a male driver trapped inside.

Foxx said he heard the crash from his house, called 911, and ran to the scene. He said another man, an off-duty paramedic who was driving by, had large EMT scissors that the two used to break the truck's window, cut the man's seatbelt and pull him out.

Foxx said "within five seconds" the truck went up in flames.
