Intense body cam shows two state troopers pulling a man out of a burning truck moments before it explodes on a New Jersey highway.
The dramatic scene unfolded Monday at 3:35 p.m. New Jersey State Trooper Robert Tarleton was speaking with a driver during a traffic stop on I-287 north in Bridgewater Township when a tractor trailer nearby ran off the side of the road in the express lanes.
The truck struck a guardrail and bridge abutment before catching fire. Trooper Tarleton immediately jumped into action, requested fire and emergency responders and then drove toward the burning vehicle.
