Dianne Russini who was a sport reporter with The Atlantic was with her husband Kevin Goldschmidt and their children in Wycoff New Jersey when a senior man was driving with his dog when a 17 year old driver who was driving a Honda Civic collided with a jeep that caused the Jeep to land on its side. Dianne and her husband rescued a 72 year old man and his dog before the Wycoff firefighters arrived on the scene. A tow truck arrived to remove both the Jeep and The Honda Civic out of the area while the Jeep was taken by an ambulance to a local hospital to be checked for injuries in the accident. The dog was taken by a friend to a home. Dianne left the scene of the accident quickly since she did not the media to make a big deal of working with bystanders to rescue a stranger and his dog. Hopefully both the teenager driver and the senior driver will make a full recovery from the accident. Dianne and her relatives were at the right place at the right time when the accident happened as an eyewitness. Link is msn.com/en-us/lifestyle...

Diana actually has had a really hard few weeks due to a mini scandal, so I’m glad she is getting positive press too.
