PITTSBURGH — A University of Pittsburgh spokesman says men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon helped rescue two men from a car accident near the city.

Athletics spokesman Greg Hotchkiss says Dixon was heading north on Interstate 279 before 10 p.m. Saturday when a car swerved, hit a guardrail and flipped over.

He says Dixon pulled over, ran to the vehicle and cut his hands helping someone get out.

State police trooper Erik Fisher told ESPN.com that Dixon helped remove at least one of the victims, a woman who had a broken ankle.
