Heart-pounding video shows the moment a Georgia police officer pulls a screaming woman from the burning wreckage following a high-speed chase that reached 100 mph.
Newly released dashcam and body camera footage from the Cobb County Police Department captured Officer Clay Musselman’s heroics on Oct. 13, when a speeding driver passed him on a Georgia highway.
Musselman gave chase but was soon told by the desk sergeant to stop and return to duty rather than pursue the vehicle.
However, some time later the police saw the fire.
“Vehicle is completely covered,” he radioed in.
Musselman stopped and got out, approaching the burning wreckage while using a flashlight to search for the driver in the wooded area by the side of the road.
“Unit’s coming in, I can’t tell if there’s anyone still in the vehicle or not,” police told the dispatcher as he approached the wreckage.

That’s when he heard the woman calling for help from the fire.
“Can you come out?” he yelled into the raging fire, then radioed in, “2316, they’re still in the vehicle.”
Mussleman broke the car window and told the woman, “Get out, climb out.”
“I can’t,” the woman screamed. “My arm is broken. Help me. I can not”
The policeman replied, “You have to, come on.”
Cobb County Policeman Clay Musselman heard the screams, smashed a window on the burning car and arrested the woman inside who just minutes earlier had sped away from him on a local highway.

He then took the woman’s hand well and pulled her across the grass and away from the fire.
Cobb County Police said the driver was treated for a broken arm and broken hip at a nearby hospital.
The department said the woman had been “driving erratically” at speeds “in excess of 100 mph,” but did not release the woman’s name and did not say whether she was charged for eluding the officer.
