SHANGHAI, China — Multiple Chinese news outlets are running with the story of Tommy Patton, reportedly a retired firefighter from the United States who was photographed stepping in to help after a brutal car crash.
According to one source, Shanghai Daily, Patton was on the scene at a six car pile up in the Jiading District of Shanghai. One car, a small Sedan, was completely wrecked and trapped under a container truck. Photos posted to Weibo show the bare-chested Patton stepping in to help.
One witness to the accident wrote about it on Weibo, “I saw the foreigner squatting outside the car when I got stuck on the jammed expressway. [Patton] kept talking to the injured passengers in the car and tried to keep them conscious.”
