EMT’s in Oklahoma City were having a bit of trouble getting through rush hour traffic until a good samaritan stepped up to help them reach not one, but TWO emergencies on time.
“We were stuck in traffic, so pretty much cars surrounding us all over,” EMSA paramedic Peter Redford tells OKC’s News 9. “All of a sudden, I see a silver Ferrari or a silver sports car pull in behind us.”
Little did they know, the driver of the silver Ferrari was Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant.
“I see this Ferrari has it’s flashers on,” he said. “It’s actually making way for us to get through and navigate all the traffic. Once we actually get through all the traffic, this silver Ferrari comes over to the side and waves to my partner. And my partner goes ‘Do you have any idea who that is?’ And of course I’m clueless. ‘That’s Kevin Durant.’“
Peter Redford continues singing Durant’s praises, saying, “He waves to me. I just thought that was so cool that someone like Kevin Durant would take the time to assist this emergency vehicle getting to an emergency call.”
Hilariously enough, Durant was trying to be a hero when he ended up stopping traffic for the paramedics.
“I saw the ambulance from behind me, and it was kind of slow in front of me, and I moved over. I said, ‘I’m just going to follow the ambulance so I can get through traffic real quick,’” Kevin Durant said. “So I moved over. I can’t take full credit for that.”
