Witnesses looked on in shock as a bound and beaten man crawled out of the trunk of a car that had crashed into a Seattle home and burst into flames, police said.

The 63-year-old alleged kidnapping victim said he was slashed, roughed up then thrown into the trunk of his car but broke free when his captors crashed into the home, according to Seattle police.

"He was beat up pretty bad. They had cut his face with a knife and had beat him up pretty badly," witness Raegan McKibbon told King 5.

The crash happened around 5 a.m. Thursday in the Ravenna neighborhood.

"A screeching noise and then the most sickening crunch," neighbor Cheng Yu recounted to King 5 of what he heard when the car crashed.

Brooks Mierow said he and his children were home when the car slammed into his home, and he rushed the kids and family’s dog out of the house when he spotted smoke coming from the car.

The kidnapping victim was seen escaping the trunk of the car after the crash, and McKibbon assisted the man across the street.
