A Spring Hill police officer is being praised for saving two teens from a fiery crash.

Officer Brandon Frey noticed an SUV not maintaining its lane and ran the license plate saw the car was registered to a nearby house.

According to the officer, he almost let them go, but then the SUV began driving erratically.

The driver, 18-year-old Abrian Galvan-Sauceda, began swerving into people’s yards.

The officer attempted a traffic stop after he thought Sauceda had wrecked, but he continues to drive. The chase continued down Duplex Road and the driver hit a tree and the SUV caught on fire.

Frey ran over to the teens trapped inside the SUV and busted out the windows. He pulled the female passenger and the driver out and got them to safety. A few minutes the car exploded.

Spring Hill Police Lt. Justin Whitwell said Frey did what any officer would do.
