Hundreds help man injured helping another

Kurt LeDell is uneasy with the "Good Samaritan" tag people have hung on him, even though that's what he is.

Our prayers for a speedy and full recovery

was the lady that did this to him in attendance?

Get well soon Mr LeDell, your generosity is an inspiration to others. To the hundreds who came out to support Mr LeDell and his family, you are also an inspiration and what Minnesota Nice is all about. Thank you Mr LeDell and members of your community for showing it still does exist.

[Frank Lee]

Nobody "did it" to him, bill.

Helping someone is not just "a Christian thing" to do. It's common decency, regardless of religion. I have helped many people in my life jump-starting cars, with directions, and so on...

I don't believe in churches and all this god-speak, but I do make sure the car is in park before the key is turned.

Chuck- Next time find the facts on the story before you make comments. This is simply a story about a person helping another person in need.

I remember this story from when it was first reported on the local news. The car wasn’t started by turning the key but rather jumping the solenoid by the mechanic which is done all the time. The unfortunate incident happened when the woman couldn’t get the car started and had a local battery store replace the battery. When the car still didn’t start Mr. LeDell offered to help by jumping the solenoid to see if he could determine the problem unaware that the automatic car had been left in drive.
