Louisville football players earn thanks from police after rendering assistance to traffic accident victims

A bunch of Louisville football players rendered assistance to victims of a automobile crash that befell Monday close to L&N Stadium, Louisville Metro Police introduced on social media. LMPD thanked contributors of the Cardinals program for serving to proper an overturned car earlier than government and emergency products and services arrived to the scene. 

“UofL Football to the rescue … On Monday afternoon, 4th Division police officers responded to a rollover accident in the intersection of Central and Floyd,” the video message learn. “Prior to the arrival of first responders, several nearby University of Louisville football players and some passing motorists helped flip the car back over. One person from the accident had minor injures, but will be O.K.!” 

The video went on to display pictures of the collision — the aforementioned car used to be blurred out — earlier than an unfiltered video confirmed the crowd of Cardinals players and different motorists coming to assistance from the car.

The video then concluded with the message “TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.”  

LMPD didn’t determine which players aided the rescue, despite the fact that a faculty spokesperson told the Associated Press that junior large receiver Jadon Thompson, a Cincinnati switch, used to be amongst them. 

Louisville is off to a 3-0 get started in its first season below trainer Jeff Brohm. The Cardinals subsequent host Boston College at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday.
