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.
"We were the only option and that’s why I applauded Abdul so much. Even if I was the driver, I can’t say 100 percent that I would’ve stopped," Osborn said. "If I did stop, I don’t know what I would’ve done." Osborn said he recorded the entire event on his phone, up until he had to carry the driver to safety. He says it was probably a little more than three minutes, but "definitely felt way longer." He has no plans to release the video, though he did acknowledge what happened earlier this week on social media.
