THE SIDELINES : Coach Plays a Good Samaritan
A Denver woman says a hit-and-run accident on Interstate 25 on Sunday ruined her day, but a bad day on the football field didn’t stop Denver Broncos Coach Dan Reeves from stopping to help.
Charlene Johanneson was driving to her home in Elbert with her two children when a hit-and-run driver slammed into her car from behind as she drove south.
Reeves and his wife, on their way home from the Broncos’ 34-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, was the first person to stop and offer assistance.
“You know, the guy wasn’t feeling on top of the world,” Johanneson said. “It was very admirable.”
Johanneson, her daughter, Laticia, 12, and son Sean, 9, sat in Reeves’ car while he called police to report the accident.
