July 16, 2008 — Dan Tyminski, the guitar player and vocalist in Alison Krauss + Union Station, came to the rescue this week when he was in the right place at the right time to aid a driver who was severely injured in a wreck in Franklin, Tenn.
Dan, who sang lead on the Soggy Bottom Boys’ award-winning "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow," was summoned to call 911 by his wife, Elise Tyminski, Monday, according to WKRN-TV. While walking the dog, Elise had discovered a crashed four-wheeler which had slid down an embankment.
Elise, who’s a nurse at Vanderbilt Medical Center, hurried down the slope and worked to stem the bleeding on a significant head wound while Dan contacted the rescue hotline. Emergency workers had to use a pulley system to lift the vehicle off the victim, who was taken to Vanderbilt by helicopter.
The victim is expected to recover. Dan meanwhile continues to play dates in support of his second solo album, Wheels.
