NFL reporter rescues man from car hours after resigning amid investigation

Dianna Russini, who was photographed with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, climbed onto Jeep to pull out man and dog

A day after resigning from the Athletic amid an internal investigation into photos of her and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, NFL reporter Dianna Russini rescued an older man and a dog from an overturned car in New Jersey.

Russini’s actions in the aftermath of a car crash on Wednesday in Wyckoff, New Jersey, were confirmed by a source with direct knowledge of the matter. Page Six on Friday first reported on the wreck and Russini’s intervention, 10 days after the celebrity news outlet exclusively published the photos of Russini and Vrabel.
