Three hero bystanders rescued an OAP from her car wreckage right before it caught alight.

The 84-year-old woman was involved in an accident that saw her vehicle flip onto a grass verge.

Three witnesses, a Malay man, an Indian citizen, and a Chinese national, managed to prise the driver’s door open before lifting the elderly driver to safety.

She appeared injured but remained conscious throughout the rescue.

The upside-down car then burst into flames as she recovered on the grass in the city of Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

The vehicle was 95% destroyed by the blaze.

Footage showed flames and thick smoke billowing into the air.

Paramedics arrived on the scene to assess the OAP driver.

She suffered a broken right arm and minor injuries to her face and was taken to the Sungai Buloh Hospital for treatment.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department spokesperson Ahmad Mukhlis Mukhtar said: “A fire engine from the Damansara fire station was dispatched to the scene, located about 5km away, and arrived within five minutes.

“The vehicle was about 95% destroyed in the fire.”

He added: “The victim, believed to be the vehicle owner, sustained a fractured right arm but was conscious.”

The victim’s daughter expressed gratitude to the rescuers, noting that her mother is expected to be discharged after one final operation on her arm.

Her husband revealed that the accident happened shortly after she had dropped him off at a clinic for a follow-up appointment, as reported by Need To Know.

An investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.
