Police saved a man's life after pulling him from a burning car in Franklin Township.

Officers say the 26-year-old driver crashed on Route 27 near Andover Road last weekend and was unconscious when they arrived.

As flames spread, officers smashed the windows, unlocked the door and dragged him out.

Seconds later, the front of the car was engulfed in flames, and within minutes the vehicle was fully ablaze.

The driver was taken to the hospital and is now in stable condition.

The crash remains under investigation.
