Ex-U of L star Harrell saves wrecked motorist

Former Louisville basketball star Montrezl Harrell helped save a motorist from an overturned, smoking vehicle near the school's campus on Saturday, 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.

The University of Louisville police department lists the incident as a non-injury accident that occurred at the intersection of 3rd Street and West Cardinal Boulevard.

Louisville Metro Police's public information officer Dwight Mitchell said there were two vehicles involved in the crash and one person was taken to the hospital for a possible minor injury.
