Los Angeles Injury Lawyers | Gary Busey Plays Good Samaritan at Car Accident

“Lethal Weapon” star Gary Busey — who suffered a skull fracture and traumatic brain injury in a 1988 motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet — dropped his wild-man image last week and came to the rescue at a car accident in Malibu, California.

Malibu police said Busey witnessed two cars colliding on Pacific Coast Highway and rushed to help, according to TMZ and many other sources. The Oscar-nominated actor (“The Buddy Holly Story,” 1978) immediately jumped into the role of Good Samaritan, aiding an injured man and getting an onlooker to call 911 (listen to the call below).

Then Busey helped to slow traffic to keep the people involved in the accident out of harm’s way from oncoming vehicles. He stayed with the injured victim until paramedics arrived to treat him. 

Listen to the 911 call, courtesy of TMZ:

What to do if you witness a car accident:

  • Immediately call 911. Do not try to do anything else until you make this call.
  • Pull over to the right when it is safe and stop your vehicle.
  • Stay out of harm’s way. Do not get out of your car unless you are sure it is safe to do so.
  • If someone appears to be injured and it is safe to get out of your car and to approach the victims, let them know help is on the way.
  • Do not move the victims. Moving an injured person can turn a minor injury into a serious one.
  • When authorities arrive, give them your name and contact information.
  • Make notes about what you personally saw in case you are called upon later to provide information.
