McDreamiest: Patrick Dempsey pulls teen from totaled car

USA Today -- No, it wasn't a dream after all.

It seems McDreamy, a k a Patrick Dempsey, came to the rescue last Tuesday afternoon of a teenage boy whose car had flipped several times -- into, TMZ reports, the Grey's Anatomy star's Malibu front yard. Apparently, the Mustang was totaled, but a crowbar-wielding Dempsey -- a passionate car-racing fan, by the way -- was able to pry the driver free. The boy got just a concussion -- but also, clearly, a great story.

Hollywood is heaping huzzahs on its latest hero. "True Story: Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey pulled my friend's son out of overturned car after bad accident on Tuesday. #GoodDude" tweeted Shawn Ryan, The Shield's creator, on Friday.

What has this have to do with gas. But what about the average citizen who has help others in accidents. They hardly ever get the kind of coverage as a celebrity. Good for Dempsey for rescuing the kid.

Tongue firmly in cheek, I wonder if McDreamy stripped off his shirt as he ran to the rescue of the teen.

Ziyulu, Ziyulu, you post anything for points and get away with it. If it has a car or auto in the article it gets posted.
