It’s a good thing he’s also a doctor.

KONA — Gov. Josh Green sprang into action and rendered aid to a driver after witnessing a vehicle crash on Hawaii Island on Thursday morning.

The crash happened on Waikoloa Road, between Queen Kaahumanu Highway and Waikoloa Village.

Photos sent to Hawaii News Now showed Green and several other Good Samaritans at the scene of an overturned vehicle off the roadway.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green was one of several passersby who stopped to help an accident victim on the Big Island Thursday. That’s him in the aloha shirt climbing under the vehicle.

Green was reportedly on his way to a blessing ceremony for Waikoloa Solar and Storage, and his security detail spotted the vehicle.

Green, who鈥檚 also a doctor, as well as other civilians and an off-duty firefighter, helped get the driver out of the vehicle.

First responders later arrived on scene and rendered aid to the driver.

It鈥檚 not clear what the driver鈥檚 condition is.
