A man has had an extraordinary escape from serious injury after being pulled from the wreckage of his crashed car before it burst into flames at Dalysford.

A man’s life was saved on Tuesday when rural fire fighters passing the scene of a horror crash pulled an unconscious man his car second before it exploded in flames west of Bundaberg.

Emergency crews were called to the scene of the crash on Tableland Rd at Daylsford, east of its intersection with Daylsford Rd, about 9.50am Tuesday.

The car reportedly veered off the road, rolled, crashed into a ditch and burst into flames.

A source who asked to remain anonymous said the man, unconscious at the time, was pulled from the wreckage by two rural firefighters who drove past the scene of the crash shortly after it happened.
