A U.S. Marine was able to come to the aid of a man whose pickup truck burst into flames on I-85 in Georgia.

Duluth, Georgia – A U.S. Marine was able to save a man from his burning pickup truck, WMAZ reported.

TaRay McGinnis, 26, was driving on Interstate 85 last week when his pickup truck became engulfed in flames. Marine Sgt. Matthew Sullivan told the TV station that he saw something come out of the passenger side door – it was McGinnis on fire.

Sullivan ran to McGinnis' aid, dragged him from the truck, and made him roll on the grass: "'And I said, 
'As long as you're still breathing and screaming brother, you're still alive.'"
