A legendary Serb rescued a driver from a burning car in Belgrade.

Former Serbian basketball player Milan Gurović rescued a man from a burning car in Novi Beograd around 3 PM. The incident occurred at the intersection of Vojvodanka Street and Dušana Vukasović Street, where Gurović noticed a car suddenly swerving, stopping, and catching fire. The driver, a 48-year-old man named M. J., was trapped inside due to his seatbelt and could not exit the vehicle on his own. Gurović ran to the car, freed the man, and pulled him to safety just before the fire engulfed the car. Seven firefighters arrived in two vehicles to extinguish the blaze, but the cause of the fire has yet to be determined. Gurović, known for his successful career as a basketball player, played for numerous clubs including Barcelona, Unicaja, Partizan, and Crvena Zvezda, and was part of the Yugoslav team that won both the European Championship in 2001 and the World Championship in 2002.
