OKLAHOMA CITY - An Oklahoma City Thunder star's quick-thinking along the Broadway Extension is being honored by a group of paramedics.

Recently, EMSA paramedic Peter Radford and two coworkers were heading to a life-threatening emergency call in Edmond, but they faced one big problem- traffic along I-235.

"Traffic was just crazy, it was 5:30 p.m.; almost unable to move," Radford told NewsChannel 4. "Then I see this little silver sports car come sliding in behind us."

The driver of the silver Ferrari was none other than Kevin Durant.

"I seen the ambulance from behind and it was kinda slow in front of me, and I moved over and said, 'I'm just gonna follow the ambulance so I can get through traffic a little quicker," Durant laughed.

"He went ahead and turned his flashers on and started to back up. As he backed up, it actually allowed us area to move around and pull over to the left, as everyone normally pulls over to the right, to ease our way through traffic. That allowed us to speed up and make it to this emergency call," Radford said.

Radford says it was one of the 'coolest things he's ever seen.'

Even though Durant says he didn't do anything special, EMSA officials are honoring his actions.

EMSA created an 'Everyday Hero' medal, which will be engraved with his name.

The medal will be presented to Durant after the NBA Playoffs.
