Harrison Ford was caught assisting a woman who had strayed off a highway and smashed her automobile.
Ford, 75, was traveling along California State Route 126 when he saw a gray car go off the road and into an embankment. He and numerous other vehicles stopped to assist the motorist.
The driver was transferred to a hospital nearby. According to local law enforcement, the lady suffered just minor injuries.
Photos of Ford speaking with first responders at the site started to circulate online. He was driving behind the lady when she lost control of her car and crashed.
According to Santa Paula Police Department Senior Officer Matt Alonzo, the vehicle went off the roadway and struck a tree.
Ford, according to Alonzo, was with a buddy when they heard the car crash. They then pulled over and went to the woman’s car to assist her.
He acted as a good Samaritan, just like everybody else, and attempted to assist before emergency services arrived, Alonzo said, adding that Ford and others were able to pull the lady from the car.
At the time of the accident, the lady was the only one in the car. The incident is presently being investigated by the California Highway Patrol.
