When they're not fighting hoards of zombies, Daryl and Glenn are being good samaritans.

Walking Dead stars and all-around good dudes Norman Reedus and Steven Yeun were spotted stopping on the side of the road in Peachtree City, Georgia, to help people who had been involved in a car accident Thursday.

Two witnesses who saw the accident told CBS46 in Atlanta that Reedus and Yeun rode up on their motorcycles when they saw that a collision had occurred.

It looked like he was trying to help everybody, kind of calm everybody. It took me about 5-10 seconds to take these pictures and then the cops came and I'm sure after that, probably, they took off," said witness Mikail Turan.

Apparently, no serious injuries were reported in the accident, and both actors stuck around until paramedics arrived. 

Reedus in particular has a reputation for helping "civilians" on the side of the road. Last year, at San Diego Comic Con, he recounted stopping to help a driver of an 18-wheeler that had rolled over while he was on the way to the hospital for a head injury.

It's no wonder these two are fan favorites.
