Jon Dorenbos cleaned out his car after returning in December from a trip with his wife and daughter to Ojai, a picturesque California town in the valley of mountains about 90 minutes north of Los Angeles.
But for some reason, Dorenbos neglected to remove a blanket from the trunk. And that oversight — along with quick thinking and a series of events that placed the former Eagles long snapper exactly where he was needed — helped Dorenbos save a stranger’s life last month.
“I don’t know why that huge blue fleece blanket was in our car,” he said. “Normally, we wouldn’t have had a blanket that size.”
