A non-sports sports story that is good, for a change

..OK, so the player is suspended. It's still a good story.

Baltimore Orioles suspended slugger Chris Davis was one of several people who lifted an overturned truck to help accident victims Monday afternoon, a witness at the scene told MASNSports.com.

According to the firsthand account given to the website, Davis waved people over to help him lift what was described as a heavy pickup truck in order to unpin a man who was trapped underneath.

Chris Davis, who is serving a 25-game suspension, was one of several people who lifted an overturned truck at a crash scene Monday.
MASNSports.com reported that the Orioles confirmed the account provided by Mike Soukup, one of the people who helped Davis.

Soukup told the website that the accident occurred on I-295 and that Davis, who currently is serving a 25-game suspension for a positive amphetamine test, was among the first people who attempted to help.
