It happened after the driver lost control and hit a guardrail today just after 2 a.m., April 29, 2019. According to the Florida Highway Patrol; the driver of a Toyota Tacoma went on the outside shoulder of I-75 and over-corrected. Then the driver veered across all lanes of the freeway and hit the guardrail in the median.<\/p>\n<p>He got out to free his passenger and the driver of a Chevy Sonic struck him. He died from his injuries. They airlifted the trapped passenger to Bayonet Point Hospital with serious injuries.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re deeply saddened to hear of this terrible crash.<\/p>\n<h2>Good Samaritan Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>It is not always safe when helping in an accident scene. The person helping could suffer injuries or harm. Accident scenes can be very dangerous places even after a wreck is over. Especially on freeways, approaching vehicles will often strike pedestrians at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The American Auto Association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/local\/michigan\/2015\/01\/10\/aaa-says-stay-car-pileup\/21570429\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">says<\/a> that if a person is involved in a crash and there is a significant risk of further collisions, or being killed by another driver. Then the best thing to do is stay in the car until told to get out by authorities.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t always practical, especially when people see others in distress &#8211; it\u2019s a natural inclination to help out.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should I do When Injured While Helping?<\/h2>\n<p>Being hit or injured while trying to help someone is not your fault. If everyone had that attitude, many people today would be dead or more seriously injured. Don\u2019t let the insurance companies imply or say that you are at fault for stopping and thus not entitled to any compensation for your injuries.
