## Resource

A Southlake cop turned a routine speeding stop into a life-saving rescue when a smoking Nissan sped past and crashed ahead—flames already licking the interior. With the driver trapped and smoke choking the cabin, Corporal Joshua Swisher acted without hesitation, pulling the man to safety just as the car exploded into flames. No one else was in the car, and the driver was soon reunited with his family. The twist? The officer’s original suspect—a Mercedes driver who’d just left the hospital—got a free ride back instead of a ticket. The Nissan’s fire cause remains unknown, but Swisher’s quick thinking saved a life. And he even stayed on shift, sporting a little burnt hair.
