Danny Trejo said, “He was panicked. I said OK, we have to use our superpowers. So he screamed ‘superpowers’ and we started yelling ‘superpowers.”
“I said do this, with the muscles. He said ‘muscles’,” he continued. “We got kind of a bond. I kept facing him away from the accident.”
The Los Angeles Fire Department informed the media that none of the victims sustained major injuries. However, 3 other people were escorted to the hospital, along with the special needs child for their injuries.
Trejo further told CNN, “The only thing that saved the little kid was his car seat.”
“Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of helping someone else,” he continued further. “Everything.”
Trejo is famous for his roles in Spy Kids, Heat, Breaking Bad, Con Air, and Desperado. He usually plays the villain or an anti-hero in movies.
The cause of the accident is still unknown.
