Four Michigan police officers were injured Wednesday while heroically saving five people trapped inside a car that crashed into a tractor-trailer and burst into flames in Michigan.
The crash happened just after noon near an intersection in Canton Township, a suburban area between Detroit and Ann Arbor in southeast Michigan.
Police officers rushed to the accident, rescuing five people through flames and thick, black smoke.
Four officers and five victims were taken to hospitals.
Their injuries vary from minor to critical, according to the Canton Township Police Department.
Traffic lights hanging above the intersection were also damaged by the flames, according to five fire trucks.
"Everybody was losing their minds," Martin said. "It was just a lot of chaos."
It is unclear what led to the crash, which remains under investigation.
