JOHNSON COUNTY —Police in the Johnson County, Kansas community of Merriam released a video Thursday of a rescue earlier this month. 

"I'm fine to drive" — until you're not. The officers responded to a crash and fire.  "This could have been a fatality," the department wrote on their social media page. "This weekend, please — make a plan before you drink. Drive sober. Get home safe."

Police did not release the drivers name or additional details.
