church.
“Basically I was driving to church dolo, about to go south on
lakeshore [drive] and another car drives into the wall in front of me
goin like 90 mph comin off the exit.
“I was the only person out there when it first happened and his car
was on fire so I had to break his window take off his seatbelt let his
seat back and pull a whole grown man out the car unconscious. (sic)”
Initially, Chance — whose real name is Chancelor Jonathan Bennett —
admitted he wondered if he was getting pranked by reality show
“Punk’d” before quickly accepting it wasn’t a stunt.
He added: “I was only by myself at first, then two other men helped me
pull folks out the front after I got the doors open. But def was
getting that ‘am I getting punk’d’ at first. (sic)”
