A few hours before tweeting about his “devout” fandom for Judge Judy, Harbaugh sprung to action to assist two women who got into a car accident on icy I-94 in Ann Arbor on Tuesday afternoon.


According to Mlive.com, Michigan athletics spokesman Dave Ablauf said that Harbaugh and UM athletics staff member James Minick “administered first aid to both individuals and kept them warm with coats until emergency medical personnel arrived.”


The accident occurred at around 2:40 p.m. Tuesday. The car involved, a 2003 Jeep Cherokee, was traveling westbound and “flipped multiple times before ending up on the eastbound side of I-94.” Additionally, police said the vehicle “hit the median before traveling up a snow embankment and landing on the eastbound side of the highway.”


Both women, the 53-year-old driver and the 73-year-old passenger, were wearing seatbelts and were transported to a local hospital.


According to WDIV, their injuries are not life-threatening.
