Yankee’s Manager Joe Girardi Helps Car Accident Victim

Just hours after his baseball team clinched the World Series, Yankee's Manager Joe Girardi was driving home with his wife on Cross County Parkway at the Hutchinson River Parkway, after celebrating his team's big win. When he saw that a car had crashed onto a wall on a curvy section on a New Rochelle road on the outskirts of New York City, he stopped to help the accident victim out of her car.

Although the car was still partially on the road and in danger of getting struck again, Girardi helped a woman out of her crushed car and to safety. Police arrived minutes later. The woman, 27-year-old Marie Henry, said that the man sprinted across three lanes of traffic in order to help her. She was not seriously injured in the New York car accident.

"The guy wins the World Series, what does he do? He stops to help," Officer Kathleen Cristiano told the media.
