Minnesota Vikings receiver K.J. Osborn was one of four individuals who helped save a man's life on Sunday night.
"I’ll leave you with this. God is real. And His LOVE is real. He will send his angels to be camped around you and provide you with his grace and mercy.""Obviously it's a situation I've never imagined myself in in a million, billion years," Osborn started."But I'm on my way home, I'm in the back of an Uber and my head is down, I'm on my phone and my Uber driver just starts going crazy.
"He hit the pillar and his car is in flames. We go by briefly, kind of slow, there's one other car in front of us...initially, my Uber driver, who is also a hero -- it was three other people there, all heroes -- he got out the car and he's like we got to call 911. I'm like no, we got to go save this guy...we go over to his car in flames and immediately I'm thinking 'this is obviously a big risk.
"That's what I was thinking, like my live thoughts, but my Uber driver, he went right up to the car. He opened the door. He's trying to see if the guy is alive and I'm like 'man, this guy is crazy.'...[The man] couldn't move...he was able to muster enough strength to move his upper body to the passenger seat and he was a heavier guy if you're talking about a normal human being.
"...We get him out the car and that's when I picked him up. He's bleeding, he's bleeding all over my shirt and everything...I carry him about 10-15 yards...by then the ambulance came, the firefighters, they got the flames to go down eventually...they came back and told us we saved that man's life, he wouldn't have been able to get out that vehicle without our help.
"I plan to go to the hospital to check on him, but the news I heard, he hurt his ankle, his mouth was bleeding ... but he was alive, which was obviously the greatest blessing."
