Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx was cast as a real-life super hero after a pick-up truck crashed and caught fire outside his house.
Brett Kyle lost control of his truck Monday night, which ran through a drainage ditch and rolled several times before catching fire outside Foxx’s home northwest of Los Angeles, California.

The star of “Ray” and “Django Unchained” heard the noise and, along with another, unnamed witness, rushed to the crash. Foxx smashed a window, cut a seatbelt, and dragged Kyle 30 feet away as flames engulfed the truck.
Ventura County firefighters arrived in the Hidden Valley neighborhood shortly after the rescue, putting out the fire and taking Kyle to the hospital where he’s expected to recover from his injuries.
