TAKING CONTROL OF THE SITUATION

Witnesses and even the victims of the crash were stunned when they realized it was Kobe Bryant helping out at the time. However, that actually wasn't the first time he's done something like that.

Stories of Kobe Bryant's kindness has resurfaced online following his tragic death, and these are only some of the many.
