Just knowing that we had to go help someone, just reacted off of that,&#8221; Pickett Jr. told CBS News New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Fort Montgomery Fire Department said the driver hit a utility pole on Route 9W, about six miles away from West Point. The man was said to be alert and appeared to have only minor injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Pickett family praised for &#8220;heroic actions&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Pickett Jr., who hails from Raleigh, North Carolina, is a sophomore at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and plays free safety for the football team. His family was in town for the first game of the season and they had been coming back from dinner in New York City.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just extremely thankful that we were in the right place at the right time to help the gentleman,&#8221; Pickett Jr. said. &#8220;It just goes back to selfless service, the willingness to serve others. It feels good, but in the end, I&#8217;m just glad that everyone&#8217;s okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His father, Larry Pickett Sr., posted the video on social media, saying his son&#8217;s display of courage is a testament to the character the school is instilling in him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To see my son spring into action, like to run towards a car that has a power line on it and under it, was amazing,&#8221; Pickett Sr. said.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Military Academy echoed that sentiment, writing it was &#8220;proud of the heroic actions&#8221; taken by Pickett Jr. and his father.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cadet Larry Pickett Jr. and his father exemplify the values we hold dear, stepping up in a moment of crisis to save a life,&#8221; Athletic Director Tom Theodorakis   wrote. &#8220;Proud to see these traits in action, on and off the fields of friendly strife.
