Jason Momoa Helps Car Crash Victim
Movie star, male model, and Harley Davidson spokesman Jason Momoa recently came to the aid of a car crash victim. The incident in question happened over the weekend in Milwaukee as a minivan hit a curb and almost caught fire. Momoa was in the crowd of people who came to the driver's rescue.Momoa was in town with his band Oof Tatata for a performance during the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival when he just happened to be on the scene of the accident.
As shown in footage obtained by TMZ, Momoa was surveying the scene of the crash as smoke rose from the crashed minivan. However, other bystanders not only were trying to extinguish the flames but also administering chest compressions to the driver.
While the actor looked like he wanted to jump in, police and others already had a handle on the situation.
Even though Momoa wasn't able to engage in any heroics at the scene of the crash, it's great he was willing to help.
Meanwhile, at the music festival he was recorded engaging in the most pit during Pantera's performance, showing just how hardcore the 45-year-old is. Another video showed Momoa crowd surfing his way back to security so he could go backstage, presumably to get ready for his own set.
TMZ reports that law enforcement concluded the crash victim was driving under the influence. Thankfully when he ran into a median and up onto a sidewalk in Milwaukee he didn't take out Momoa or any of the other pedestrians on the scene.
The driver was eventually transported to the hospital to receive proper care. It's unclear if the driver was suffering a medical episode induced by the crash or whatever substance he was on at the time.
