Body camera video shows the deputy running toward the vehicle as traffic continued to move nearby. A woman was trapped inside the car and could be heard screaming.<\/p>\n
“She starts screaming. I knock on the window \u2014 I\u2019m trying to break it to get her out,” Lozano said. “I see the flames. It won\u2019t break, won\u2019t break. I have to hit it a couple more times \u2014 that\u2019s when I finally manage to smash the window open with my baton.”<\/p>\n
Lozano broke the window and pulled the woman from the vehicle. Authorities said no one else was inside the car at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n
After removing the woman from the car, Lozano used a fire extinguisher in an attempt to slow the fire while waiting for the Houston Fire Department to arrive. By the time firefighters reached the scene, the vehicle was fully engulfed.<\/p>\n
Lozano has been with Constable Precinct 8 for about two years.<\/p>\n
