Vikings Wide Receiver K.J. Osborn Saves Man From Burning Car

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn helped pull a man from a burning car to safety. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Osborn was heading home in a Uber when he and the driver noticed the crash.

“My Uber driver, he went right up to the car. He opened the door. You know, he’s trying to see if the guy’s alive. I’m like, ‘Man, this guy is brave,’” Osborn said. “You know, we seen that the guy was alive. We’re yelling, you know, ‘He’s alive.’ But you know, he couldn’t move. And again, the car’s in flames the whole time.”

He added, “We’re talking to the guy and we’re trying to get him out of the car.”And he was able to muster enough strength to move his upper body to the passenger seat. … They’re trying to drag him out of the car. I was right there.”

Osborn revealed the group of people looking to help out the man were fearful the car would explode. Osborn would carry the 25-year-old away from the wreckage.

“We get him out of the car, and that’s when I picked him up. He’s bleeding, he’s bleeding all on my shirt and everything. I pick him up, and I carry him about 10, 15 yards.

Osborn revealed the police told them they saved the man’s life and he couldn’t have got out of the car without their help. The man’s injuries are said just to be an ankle and mouth injury, but he was alive and recovering.

Minnesota’s Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed Zimmer’s official cause of death to be chronic alcohol use.

Reports from ESPN indicate that police officers were called to perform a welfare check on the night of his passing (October 31). They subsequently found him deceased. In addition to discovering his body, Zimmer also had bruising and blood pooling around his eye.

Launching shortly after in order to discover the cause of death, the investigation is now over upon the official announcement.

At the time of his death, Zimmer was serving as an assistant defensive backs coach and offensive analyst for the Cincinnati Bengals.

On November 1, the Bengals released a statement confirming his passing. “Our organization has had the privilege of knowing and working with the Zimmer family for 15 years. We have the highest regard for Mike and Adam, and we are incredibly saddened by this tragic news. Mike and Adam were more than just coaches for us – they were friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Zimmer family at this time,” wrote Mike Brown, the team’s President.

Adam is the son of former Minnesota Vikings head coach, Mike Zimmer. Throughout his 16-year career working in the NFL, the 38-year-old also worked for the Vikings, as well as the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs.

Beginning with his first job in the league in 2006, he served as the Saints’ assistant linebacker coach. He was hired by the Chiefs for the same position in 2010. He later joined the Bengals as an assistant defensive backs coach in 2013, before joining the Vikings as a linebackers coach in 2014.

Furthermore, he continued to work various roles for the Vikings organization under his father’s head coaching duties for the next seven years. Afterwards, he rejoined the Bengals for another stint earlier this season.

Rest in peace, Adam Zimmer. Our condolences go out to the Zimmer family at this time.
