With such roles as Indiana Jones and Han Solo to his credit, Harrison Ford has apparently taken a cue from his onscreen heroics and brought them to real life!
The 75-year-old actor is being applauded by many for coming to the aid of a woman who crashed her car off the side of a highway in California.
According to TMZ, Ford was driving behind the woman, who was traveling in the eastbound lane on California State Route 126 in Ventura County when he saw her accidentally drive her vehicle off the road and tumble down an embankment.
Ford immediately pulled over and ran down the hill to check on the woman, who sustained minor injuries.
He stayed with her until paramedics arrived on the scene to transport her to the hospital.
You can check out photos from the scene posted by one Twitter user below.
Others also took to social media to praise the star, some in hilarious tributes, for his heroic actions. You can see those posts below as well.
Many find it refreshing to see a star making headlines for a positive reason, especially in the midst of all the actors currently being called out and accused of inappropriate behavior throughout their careers. ~Alexa Caruso

Good hearted man, I am a witness. about 6 years ago in El Paso, TX I wa playing piano @ a classy restaurant, he comes for dinner twice in within a week (chicken tacos) He sat with another dude at the launge and listened to my playing. I was so bashful introduce myself which I regret it to this day. I waved him welcoming him on both nights. My point is: On the next week I get a call to the office to talk to the owner and thought, oh craps, trouble. To my joy she tells me.. Congratulations Luis, Harrison Ford's PR just called on behalf of Mr Ford and send you a $400.00 dlls tip, he liked the food and he loved you music. That is class I thought, it was so cool and motivating for me. The money was so handy. Hey, I am a musician and he must've known that art is underrated as far as $ ... God Bless him, that's why he still alive after all those close calls in his planes. He didn't save me from a burning car or some but, I ought of telling my little story. Gracias Senor ??
We need more stories like that Luis, amid all the crap that people feed on we should applaud those that stand out and confirm that this world is a better world than it was 50 even 25 years ago.
Ford is a Grumpy Old Has-been thank Gawd they killed him off on star wars
