Just hours after helping the New England Patriots reached the Super Bowl, defensive tackle Vince Wilfork apparently helped save a woman from a brutal car crash.
MSPnews.org, the official news blog of the Massachusetts State Police, reports 38 year-old Mary Ellen Brooks flipped her Jeep Wrangler over on Route 1 in Foxboro, MA around 12:45 AM Monday morning.
When Massachusetts State Police Officers arrived on the scene, they were surprised to see the hulking five-time pro-bowler beside the vehicle checking on the driver.
Wilfork even stuck around to help lift the woman out of the vehicle…with one hand.
Reports do not suggest Brooks was badly injured, but according to MSPnews.org, she was placed under arrest and charged with “operating under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.”
Just goes to show you’ll never know who you might run into.
As for Wilfork, he'll certainly be bringing some good karma along with him and the Patriots as they cruise into Phoenix to take on the Seahawks in two weeks.
