Bodycam and dashcam footage shows a police officer rescue a man seconds before his car was engulfed in flames near Dallas, Texas.

Corporal Joshua Swisher was conducting a traffic stop on a motorway when he was alerted to a nearby vehicle emitting smoke.

Shortly after directing the vehicle to the emergency lane, flames erupted from underneath it while the driver was still inside.

Newly-released footage shows the incident, which happened on 7 June.
