Jim Harbaugh was in the right place at the right time to help out an Ann Arbor police officer on Wednesday evening.
Thursday, Ann Arbor police shared body cam video of Harbaugh helping an officer move a fallen tree to clear the road. The fallen portion of the tree was blocking traffic at Devonshire and Londonderry. When Harbaugh came upon the scene and offered to help Office Howard Cooper move the tree together, he was provided a pair of gloves and helped open up a lane of traffic.
