View this as some sort of Better Call Saul-like PR stunt, or a PSA for slowing the hell down on icy roads, but today newly minted Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh came to the aid of two motorists who crashed on Interstate-94.

Some time earlier this afternoon, the 53-year-old driver slipped on the ice and lost control of her car before slamming into the median. The force was so impactful that it partially ejected her through the driver's side window despite the fact that she was wearing a seatbelt. There was also a 73-year-old woman riding shotgun, at the time.

Harbaugh and Jim Minick, whose lesser title as UM athletic staff kept him out of the headline (sorry, Jim), came to the aid of the two shook-up motorists, helping the partially ejected driver to fully eject, and providing coats to the senior passenger to keep her warm until paramedics arrived. 

They were then taken to a hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries, before the driver was informed that it was his/her fault for going too effing fast in icy conditions.
