Per the Courier-Journal:
Former Louisville basketball star Montrezl Harrell helped save a motorist from an overturned, smoking vehicle near the school’s campus on Saturday morning, U of L sports information director Kenny Klein confirmed Monday evening.
Klein, in a series of tweets, said Harrell, who was drafted this summer by the Houston Rockets, kicked out a window in the overturned car, retrieved a fire extinguisher and waited for emergency personnel to arrive.
