A corrections officer named Rui is being hailed a hero after saving three teenagers from a horrific car accident. After being trapped in a burning car, Rui did something amazing to save these victims.

After seeing the car crash, which he happened to predict after seeing the way the car was being driven, it immediately went up in flames. Rui knew he didn't have time to waste and had to help these three people get out of the vehicle as soon as possible. That's exactly what he did!

He risked his own life and ran into the burning car to pull the three victims out. All of them survived, thanks to this brave man! Thank God he was in the right place at the right time.

Minutes after they escaped the car, it exploded.
