Coach Dixon spoke about the incident, and in a completely unsurprising way, downplayed his involvement or that he did anything special.

“I did what anybody else, I think, in Pittsburgh would have done in given the situation,” Dixon said at a news conference at the Petersen Events Center in Oakland. “I think a number of people would have done the same thing. In fact, I know they would have.”

In fact, he said that he others did pull over to help. It was just that he was the first there because he it happened right in front of him.

“I was driving home around 9:30 or 10 p.m. from the office after we practiced and watched film when I saw a car in front of me going in the fast lane and then veer to the right and hit the wall,” Dixon said of the crash. “It flipped a few times. There weren’t a lot of people on the road.

“I pulled over and ran to the car. There was smoke coming out, which I was later told by the firemen … was from the air bags being deployed,” Dixon said.

Coach Dixon also did an interview about the incident on ESPN’s painful to watch “First Take.” I’m sure they will post the clip in time.
