A Tennessee Titans linebacker helped a family escape from their burning SUV before it exploded.

Jonathan Willard was driving to training camp on Interstate 40 near Oak Ridge when he saw the vehicle smoking. He flashed his lights and honked his horn to get the driver to pull over just before flames shot out the back.
Willard and another man rescued three small kids in the back seat and the family dog.
The SUV exploded just minutes later.
