In a story that first gained publicity through a Facebook posting by his high school, it was learned on Tuesday that Patriots linebacker Darius Fleming had rescued a woman following a car crash. The incident occurred a mere two days before the Divisional playoff match up with the Kansas City Chiefs about a mile or so away from Gillette Stadium near a Dunkin Donuts on Thursday night.
Fleming spoke with reporters on Tuesday to discuss the incident. According to ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss, Fleming told him “a large truck made an unexpected right turn on Route 1 while he was driving away from Gillette Stadium, which he said led to three cars colliding in front of his vehicle.
