A driver reportedly speeding on the 118 Freeway slammed into a concrete center divider but survived when two off-duty police officers and several passersby pulled him from the burning vehicle.
Zachary Casas, 38, was traveling well-above the speed limit Saturday about 6:15 p.m. when he lost control of his car near Zelzah Avenue, police said. The vehicle burst into flames after flipping into the air and landing upside-down on top of a pickup. The other driver was not hurt in the accident.
