Two men with same name perform same good deed

Drivers say two good samaritans , both named Darren, rescued dozens who got stuck while driving on icyTalbot Road in Renton during the snow storm over the weekend.

KOMO 4 first got word of one Darren after a thankful viewer, Jay Zeng, sent an email about his experience. Zeng said a man named Darren, a nearby resident, bailed him out after his car got stuck in the now.

Zeng wanted to say "thank you," but he didn't know Darren's last name or anything about him.

But after KOMO 4 aired Zeng's story, viewers emailed and identified the man as Darren Hales. Hales figured he helped about 50 desperate drivers the other night.

But Hales wasn't the Darren that helped Zeng. It turns out another man named Darren was helping drivers on the same road, on the same night.

The other Darren is Darren Kinnischtzke. "It was something I was raised with, helping others," Kinnischtzke said.

Between them, the two Darren's figure they helped 80 desperate drivers. Thanks Darren. And Darren.
