Driver Dressed as Spider-Man Helps Person in Wheelchair Across Highway

The unidentified driver had just left work and moved quickly to help before traffic resumed, and the rescue was caught on a traffic camera.

  • In Jonesboro, Arkansas, a man dressed as Spider-Man jumped from his Jeep on Tuesday to help a wheelchair-bound man cross the street, an act caught on a local intersection camera.
  • The employee, who works at Ultimate Air Trampoline Park, was en route to the venue for its Super Hero Day when he spotted the man struggling in traffic and made a split-second decision to help.
  • Inspired by his childhood love of comics, the man said he met Stan Lee when young and hopes to inspire children. "I always thought that whenever I get older, if I could just put on a suit and make some little kid believe that he saw the real one, that maybe he'd turn out to be a good person," he said.
  • Pachy Magel, an assistant manager at Ultimate Air, said he wasn't surprised his employee went viral. "It's just good to see anyone in today's day and time doing something nice for someone else," Magel said.
