While most of Ann Arbor already sees Jim Harbaugh as a hero for returning to coach at his Alma Mater, the 51-year-old Michigan coach did something on Tuesday that will certainly cement that position in the eyes of many.
According to MLive, the crash happened around 2:30 pm on I-94 with the car flipping multiple times and ending up on the other side of the highway.
Harbaugh and Jim Minick, Michigan’s Director of Football Operations, were headed to the airport but stopped to help a woman and a man out of their wrecked jeep. The two Michigan staffers gave first aid and their jackets to the motorist to stay warm before the EMS arrived.

Awesome gesture by Harbaugh, who also congratulated Judge Judy on her contract extension.
