Two people involved in a car accident in Herriman, Utah, were rescued minutes before their SUV was engulfed in flames after it crashed into a Domino's Pizza, ruptured a gas line and caused an explosion.

A video posted to social media by Unified Fire Authority, Utah's largest fire agency, showed firefighters working to put out the blaze at a commercial building on Saturday night when an explosion is heard and debris is seen flying in the air. Shortly before the explosion, "two courageous bystanders risked their lives" to rescue the driver and one passenger from the vehicle, fire officials said in a Facebook post.

Over 60 firefighters from Unified Fire Authority, South Jordan, West Jordan, West Valley City, Sandy, and Draper worked together to battle the intense blaze. Three individuals were transported to local hospitals. Thankfully, no firefighters or law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
