Vince Wilfork helped the Patriots into the Superbowl then rescued a woman from a car crash on the way home

PATRIOTS defensive tackle Vince Wilfork did a great job stopping the Colts’ run during the AFC Championship, but he saved his greatest feat for later.

VINCE Wilfork’s night wasn’t done after helping the Patriots advance to the Super Bowl.

The mountainous star defensive tackle was driving home from the Patriots’ 45-7 domination of the Colts at Gillette Stadium when he saw an overturned Jeep. When state troopers arrived at the scene of the Route 1 accident, Wilfork was checking on the driver — Mary Ellen Brooks — who was unable to exit the vehicle.

Wilfork, 33, then pulled the woman out of the Jeep while the trooper held the door open.

“I saw somebody that needed help, and I helped,” a modest Wilfork told the Boston Herald on Monday morning.

Brooks may have been celebrating the Patriots’ victory before getting behind the wheel. She was charged with operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
