CHICAGO (WPVI) -- In Chicago, it was nothing short of amazing that the driver of a Lamborghini made it out of a fiery crash alive.

A Lincoln collided with the Lamborghini near Grant Park on Saturday.

The Lamborghini slammed into a light pole and split in two.

Uber driver Andre King was among those quick thinkers responsible for pulling the driver out of the car, moments before it exploded.

King explains, "We started smelling fuel. So we said, 'OK, everybody lifted a leg, lifted an arm, got him from underneath the steering wheel.'"

30 seconds later, the Lamborghini did indeed blow up.

Witnesses say the driver was conscious when he was rushed to hospital.
