    Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx pulled someone from a burning car last night after an accident took place nearby his home outside Los Angeles, a member of Foxx's team confirmed to ABC News today.

    A rep for the actor also confirmed the news.

    "Jamie didn’t hesitate. He jumped out and ran to the car," the team member told ABC News of the incident.

    Additionally, a police press release says a 32-year-old man was driving his Toyota Tacoma when he hit a "drainage ditch," causing the vehicle to roll many times over and burst into flames.

    "Two witnesses that were near the collision scene ran to the burning, overturned truck in an attempt to free the driver. One of the witnesses retrieved a rescue tool from his vehicle allowing the two citizens to break the window, cut the seat belt, and extricate the driver," police said in the release, noting that the driver was eventually "arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol."

    Injuries to the man included major head, chest and neck trauma.

    What he's won an Oscar? I've gotta act like I care since there seems to be some conflict over actors & Oscars... Because acting IS so important.

    What he did is a good deed that actually is deserving of recognition tho and it is nice to hear something good & real coming from an entertainer....oh & rare.
