Matthew careered off the road at 8am on Wednesday, driving through a back garden and two terraces before getting stuck in a chain link fence.

With one wheel hanging over the edge of the canyon, the mystery man must have seen the driver’s predicament, and rushed to assist Matthew.

‘Good morning everyone! I am truly blessed by God today!! Thank you God & Jesus for taking care of me!! I love you!’

Sitko is believed to have been driving erratically at the time of the crash, with police thinking he suffered a ‘mental episode’ at the wheel of his car.

Since the incident, Matthew updated his Facebook page, writing: ‘Good morning everyone! I am truly blessed by God today!! Thank you God & Jesus for taking care of me!! I love you!’

The 23-year-old is now recovering in hospital from minor injuries, as the hunt for his good samaritan continues.
