Dianna Russini Rescues Man After Resignation

The heroic act comes amid an internal investigation into photos of Russini and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, which led to her departure from the New York Times-owned publication.

Both Russini and Vrabel have denied allegations of an affair, though the reporter reportedly failed to provide evidence to support her initial explanation of the meeting.

Despite the ongoing media controversy, Russini's quick thinking at the crash site has been widely praised.

The victims of the accident were reported to be in stable condition following the rescue.
