Massachusetts State Police troopers responded to an accident on the highway at 12:45 a.m., finding Wilfork next to a 2015 Jeep Wrangler that had rolled over. Wilfork was checking on the driver, according to State Police. 

While troopers held the door open, Wilfork -- with one hand -- pulled the driver out of the vehicle. The Patriots defensive tackle and captain then checked with the troopers to see if they needed any more assistance, before departing on his way. 

The driver, 38-year-old Mary Ellen Brooks of Hanson was subsequently arrested and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
