The officers noticed a minivan was driving with a flat tire that had sparks flying from the wheel, the Kenosha Police Department said on Facebook.

The officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the 84-year-old driver did not pull over, police said.

The minivan erupted in flames a short time later and became engulfed in fire. The minivan was stopped and KPD officers ran toward the flames and pulled the driver to safety.

Police said no one sustained any major injuries.
