LSU and Southern University Football Players Rescue Woman From Overturned Vehicle – blogged by @LoveRubyWoo

Two young college football players are being hailed as heroes after they saved a woman who was stuck inside an overturned truck. LSU star wide receiver Travin Dural and his cousin, Randall Menard, a talented wide receiver at Southern University, stepped up in a big way one night when they drove by a SUV trapped in a ditch. Not only did they stop to see if she needed help, but the two of them were able to work together to pull her safely out of her vehicle.

From The Advocate:

Dural, while leaving his Breaux Bridge home, passed an overturned SUV at about 10 p.m. July 30. A woman had swerved off Zin Zin Road, and her Nissan SUV landed upside down in a waterless ditch. Both front doors were jammed. The driver’s side door was crushed against the side wall of the 6-foot-deep trench.

She was hanging upside down from the driver’s seat, incapable of reaching or opening the back doors, said Michael McQuade, a St. Martin Sheriff deputy who was one of the first on the scene.

“She was trapped in the vehicle,” McQuade said.

Dural, along with his cousin, Southern receiver Randall Menard, pried open the rear passenger door and pulled out the woman from the vehicle, McQuade said.

“We had to muscle it open,” Dural said.

“He used his strength,” McQuade said.

The woman was not injured.

Dural said he and Menard noticed the overturned vehicle after their car lights quickly flashed across the SUV. They drove to a stop sign and wheeled around.

“It was a good thing we turned around. I’m glad we got a chance to help this lady out,” Dural said. “There were no cars on the street. I don’t know when the next time somebody was going to come by.”

The woman was trapped in the car for about five minutes before Dural arrived on the scene, McQuade said. Zin Zin Road is a lightly traveled thoroughfare. It’s about 200 yards off a busier road, McQuade said.

“It’s something you normally don’t see a young guy his age do,” McQuade said of Dural. “Normal people would ride by and call. They wouldn’t go above and beyond and stop and check. They actually got the person out of the vehicle.”

On top of being heroes, these guys are also humble. LSU’s sports information director said in a tweet that Dural never told anyone about what he did that night and the university only later found out when the police called and told them. These two young men are great role models and we need more guys like this. I’m a big believer in karma and I feel that there are great things coming their way!
