I am in agreement with you that William and some bystanders helped rescue the driver who was inside the burning auto.

Maybe the doors were locked; it would be hard to break the car window, if he used his elbow, maybe that's how he was injured. A good save, to rescue the guy from a burning car.

I am sure that the doors were locked when William had to break the car window with his hands.
