A 21-year old Tulsa man is reportedly in stable condition after a Washington County deputy pulled him to safety from a reported alcohol-fueled rollover accident Sunday morning. According to Washington County Undersheriff Steve Johnson, Deputy Carey Duniphin got to the accident quickly and pulled the man from the burning vehicle. “The driver was already out of the car when he got there. He was still in danger, but Carey got him away from the car so that he was no longer in danger from the fire,” Johnson said. “Carey did really good and definitely saved him from further injury.” According to reports from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the collision occurred at about 8:23 a.m., 4 miles north and 3 miles east of Copan on County Road E300 and the s curves near N. 4020 road. At that time, a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon, driven by 21-year-old Alex Solis-Rangell of Tulsa was traveling east on County Road E300, “lost control and went into a broad slide for 470 feet, struck two trees, went airborne and flipped and landed on its wheels in a creek.”
The vehicle caught fire and Solis-Rangell was “unable to exit vehicle due to leg injuries” “However, a Washington County deputy arrived within minutes of the collision,” the report states. According to Silver Duniphin was on the scene “just a few minutes after the initial call went out.” “Dispatch advised that the reporting party to the accident was advising that the car was on fire and the driver was still inside the car. While in route, dispatch advised that the flames from the vehicle were approximately 10 feet high and the driver was still inside” he said. “When Deputy Duniphin arrived he parked and exited his vehicle. After parking on the north side of W. 300 Deputy Duniphin ran to the south side of the road and saw a white/Hispanic male on his hands and knees outside the passenger side of the burning vehicle.” He say Duniphin then slid down the side of the ditch and made his way to Solis-Rangel. “Deputy Duniphin noticed that Rangel had blood coming from his mouth and was having a hard time talking leading him to believe that he had broken his jaw.
He then looked down and saw that Rangel’s left leg was bent in half between his ankle and knee. Deputy Duniphin then knew his leg was obviously broken and would not be able to walk. By this time the fire had engulfed the passenger compartment of the vehicle” he said. “Deputy Duniphin then had Rangel lay on his back and grabbed him under his armpits and wrapped his arms around his chest and grabbed his wrists. He was able to drag Rangel to the east about 10 yards before he ran into downed trees and branches and had no where else to go. He pulled Rangel up on the bank out of the water as much as he could.” Solis-Rangell was transported via Life Flight air ambulance to St. John’s Medical Center in Tulsa, where he was admitted in stable condition with head, trunk internal and leg injuries. Troopers listed the condition of the driver at the time of the accident as “odor of alcohol present” and the cause of the accident as “speed.” Other agencies responding to the accident included Bartlesville EMS, Copan Fire Department and the Dewey Fire Department.

The dummy drag when I tested for police officer, it's there for a reason.
" 2006 Hyundai Tiburon 'lost control and went into a broad slide for 470 feet, struck two trees, went airborne and flipped and landed on its wheels in a creek.' "
WTF do you do in a Tiburon to make it 'broad slide' for over 150 yards and then do aerial gymnastics?
Lets go, I got my shoe!
good
Those must be some good shoes.
At least that guy held onto a sneaker so he wouldn't lose it…
That’s one broken leg!
Previous video gets 2 million views because someone got hit. In this video someone gets saved – 50k views. Thought that was funny
The officer helped him because… you now what happend when you flip a car in GTA…
So, WTF were those bystanders doing hanging around before the police show? I've rolled up on an accidents more than once and always assist. Not helping someone in trouble, that's just pussy lame in my book.
That's amazing bravery! God bless
well damn i wish the video continued
Cop is like "yo man I gotta save yo ass!" proceeds to drag him through razor sharp desert scrub and piranha infested water with broken glass sticking out of it…."there man u feelin better??….oh….shit….10:4 we're gonna need a bodybag"
That shoe
they ruined his shirt. red shirts matter. let's riot.
respekt !!
The real question is who the hell starts drinking at 8:00 AM on a week day.
These camera qualities are shit. Are the departments getting enough funding?
Don't drink and drive.
I see 3 other vehicles parked there and at least 1-2 people standing by the road. Obviously no one else had the guts to help this guy, or to even help the officer when he arrived. Massive appreciation and respect to this officer for not hesitating for even a second before risking his life to save another's. In fact, the same goes for all officers who rarely get recognized for the dangers they assume every time they put on their uniforms. The reasonable and sane citizens of this world feel nothing but gratitude towards you. Yes, there are a few who are out of line, but no person with an ounce of common sense, judges all by the action of a few. After all, we are all humans and no one is exempt from making mistakes, intentional, or unintentional. Take good care guys and gals. The majority of us stand beside and support you!!! :)))
Hey i just wanted to say thanks for not only posting controversial police videos but also posting the good ones to. If all media posted both sides to the story like you police wouldnt be the unsung heroes like they are now, so thank you.
HERO
Did anyone else think that the dude was going to be on fire?
laughing so hard right now.. How they just dragged him by his sweater😄 Looked so funny at the end LOL
People need to understand that there are good cops and dirty cops some make mistakes or it's a miracle. If one officer kills a man they should not kill other officers. That is wrong if you do because it will continue forever you if you do do thing you will have a very very hard time
Much Love to the Officer
yeah hold onto your shoe……
great cop!
if you watch it in reverse its about a cop dragging a man to his fiery death
Oh, that's right……… Cops are bad people….Bull Crap….people want Cops around and need them………The only reason WHY people hate Cops is because they are breaking societies laws……..
"My bad"
understatement of the day
This is why I Love the police they are heros!!
selflessness right there
Someone is getting a bath, first comes the shirt next comes the pants.
Great job!
well done, great job 🙂
Did the guy say 'my bad' when the cop walked up?
