Have You Seen This? Jim Harbaugh helps police officer clear road after storm

CLEARING THE ROAD — A freezing rain and ice storm that swept through Michigan left about 700,000 homes and businesses without power, closed schools and offices and downed trees and limbs.

One of those trees, though, created a pretty interesting tale.

On Wednesday night, an Ann Arbor police officer was attempting to clear a road from a fallen tree when he got help from a surprising source: Michigan head football coach JIm Harbaugh.

"How about we try to move this tree together," said Harbaugh, according to a video released by the Ann Arbor Police Department.

According to the police, Harbaugh pulled his van over when he saw Ann Arbor officer Howard Cooper attempting to remove the large tree, and then got out to offer his assistance. Cooper gave Harbaugh some work gloves, and the video shows the two moving the tree enough to clear a lane for traffic.

"You're a good man," Cooper said after the two had moved the tree.

To which Harbaugh jested: "Feel free to spread the word on that. Don't feel like you have to keep that to yourself."
