Rintamaki knew he couldn’t get the vehicle running again but wanted to help in any way possible.
Danica Mindt and Ian Gloria, juniors at Killdeer High School, were worried they’d be late for their prom photos, and Rintamaki offered to take pictures for them, KFYR-TV in North Dakota reported.
Mindt and Gloria took a couple of selfies while Rintamaki drove them to the high school, making sure they arrived in time for their formal photo appointment, creating a memorable moment for the teens.
