Osborn detailed what exactly happened in that accident

During the recent episode of ESPN’s ‘The Adam Schefter Podcast’, Osborn appeared and detailed exactly what happened. As per the podcast, he was going home on an Uber, when his Uber driver saw the incident.

“My Uber driver just starts going crazy. He’s like, ‘Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!’ I look up, and I’m wondering what’s all the fuss about… He’s like, ‘This guy crashed,’ and I look to my right and there’s a car, if you were to picture it, under a bridge’s pillars. His car is head-on. He hit the pillar and his car is in flames,” Osborn said in the podcast.

As per Osborn, the Car could have blown any second; however, there was another car ahead and people from that car also came out to help. Then, he and his brave Uber driver and other people pulled Thomas from the car, as he was heavily bleeding. Eventually, they got him out of the car while putting their own lives at risk.

Notably, Osborn was training with coaches and trainers in Texas in the offseason, when the incident took place. Certainly, Thomas owes his life to Osborn and others. Moreover, Osborn will most likely receive a hero’s welcome when returns to Minnesota to play for the Vikings at the U.S. Bank Stadium.
