A good Samaritan who stopped to help the victim of a crash along a highway in Arizona was struck and killed by a vehicle, authorities said Sunday.
Two concerned citizens had stopped to render aid just before 4 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of State Route 202 near Phoenix when the deadly crash occurred, the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said.
"This is an absolute tragedy," DPS Sgt. Eric Andrews told FOX10 Phoenix at the crash scene. "This is the worst-case scenario where someone who was completely uninvolved is stopping to help those that they saw were in need and ended up being the victim themself."
Andrews said another vehicle crashed into the good Samaritan’s car and pushed it into one of the individuals, who later died at a hospital, KNXV-TV reported.
