Shaq Steps Up to Help Stranded Florida Driver

One woman stranded on the side of a Florida interstate Monday received an unexpected surprise when Shaquille O'Neal stopped to help her.

O'Neal, who lives near Orlando, was traveling on I-75 around Gainesville when he saw the woman pull onto the side of the road after her tire blew out. The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that Shaq stayed with the woman until deputies arrived on the scene.

In the video, Shaq is seen speaking to the deputies when they arrived, and they thanked the Basketball Hall of Famer for stopping to help the woman.
