Dino Babers is a hot name on college football’s coaching-replacement market because of the offense he runs at Bowling Green. Turns out he’s also something of a Good Samaritan. Like, the best Samaritan.
Babers was on a team bus returning from Buffalo after the Falcons’ game against the Bulls when a car swerved in front of the bus and hit the center divider. After the bus pulled over (it suffered no damage in the accident), Babers and team trainer Chelsea Lowe went to check on the driver of the car, which had started smoking.
The Toledo Blade has more:
“The closer we got to the car, the clearer we could see smoke billowing,” Lowe said. “We knew whoever was in the car wasn’t just going to walk away and have everything be OK.”
The pair helped pull the injured driver, identified by Avon police as 25-year-old Amber Nettles of Elyria, out of the car and a safe distance away from the burning vehicle before local police and fire officials arrived.
“Chelsea was there comforting the woman, and I went back to the car to get her purse and keys and other valuables,” Babers said.
Avon police confirmed the crash and said Nettles was taken to St. John Medical Center in Westlake. A hospital spokesman said they had no information on a patient by that name.
“We had carried or dragged her about 30 feet away to what was a safer place,” Lowe said.
“My main concern was to hold her in a position where she was as comfortable as possible while we waited for paramedics, and that she stayed alert and as pain-free as possible while we waited.”
This isn’t the first time Babers has more or less been a superhero. According to the Blade, he also helped revive a person who had a heart attack in a hotel parking lot and got two car passengers out of a car that had flipped over.
