Hats off to Danny Trejo! !


                                                                 
The actor happened to be driving around the San Fernando section of LA on Wednesday night when he witnessed two cars colliding. One of the vehicles was overturned, and inside was a young boy, strapped into his seat, hanging upside down.

Trejo got out of his car and, with another bystander, came to the rescue. Trejo reportedly crawled inside the overturned vehicle, but was unable to undo the child’s buckle. The other bystander, a young woman, entered from the other side, was able to get the buckle loose, and the two were able to bring the endangered child to safety.

“He was panicked,” he told ABC 7. “I said OK we have to use our superpowers. So he screamed ‘superpowers’ and we started yelling ‘superpowers.” I said do this, with the muscles. He said ‘muscles.'” All the while he kept the boy faced away from the accident.

Three people wound up taken to the hospital as a result of the crash. However, none had life-threatening injuries. The cause of the accident is as-yet-unknown, but Trejo claimed one of the drivers had run a red light.

When interviewed by ABC 7, the actor preached the importance of doing good unto others.

He had some advice for other motorists and parents: "Pay attention," he said.

"And the only thing that saved that little kid was his car seat, honest to God."

  1. Mr. Trejo has done many bad guy parts in movies, and has that bad guy exterior. But is he really? Not today. Good Job Danny.

    1. and he played a cool uncle in Spy Kids, and when I saw that, I realized that all the bad guy roles were simply easier to get for him than good guy roles. He probably hasn't had to audition for a bad guy role in forever, he's probably got a list of the ones he's been offered and not yet taken them up on.

  2. Once again proof that what a person looks like does not matter it is the heart they have that counts.

    1. Absolutely Barry. Even though Danny looks like the type of guy you would want to meet in a dark ally, his heart is as big as the world.
