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.

The cause of the accident is still unknown.
