Vines tried to open the driver’s side door and also tried using a window punch to break the driver’s side window. Both efforts were unsuccessful, authorities said.

Officer Casey Taylor arrived at the scene and the officers moved to the passenger side. The front passenger door was also damaged by the impact and could not be opened. Both officers were able to pull the woman out of the car through the broken window in the front passenger side door.

Firefighters extinguished the flames and paramedics transported the woman to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

There were no other occupants in the vehicle or other vehicles involved. The cause of the accident remains under investigation by police.
