MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Call it divine intervention. Call it being in the right place at the right time. Call it whatever you want, but Minnesota Vikings receiver KJ Osborn is being called a hero after helping save a man’s life Sunday night in Texas.Osborn, who just finished his fourth season with the Vikings, was on his way home in an Uber after a workout with his trainer.
His head down on his phone, a driver sped past and crashed head-on into a pillar under a bridge. The car burst into flames.After talking about the incident on Adam Schefter’s podcast on Tuesday, Osborn spoke with reporters Wednesday morning via Zoom.Osborn’s driver, Abdul, immediately drove them up to the crash scene.
Two other witnesses, named Arthur and Rita, were the only other people in sight. Conflicted over the thought of risking his own life to save a stranger’s, Osborn ran to the car with Abdul.
They were able to get the driver out of the car, and Osborn carried the man away before first responders could render aid."We were the only option and that’s why I applauded Abdul so much.
