Good Samaritan causes accident on I-70

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A man trying to be a good Samaritan on Interstate 70 caused a wreck instead.


The driver of a pickup truck told 24-Hour News 8 that he stopped his vehicle in the center lane of I-70 just before the ramp to I-465 on the east side. He did it to move a ladder out of the roadway.

But a woman driving her car didn't notice and hit the pickup, flipping her car upside down.

No one was seriously hurt in the wreck.



Now how the heck is this the "Good Samaritan's" fault. The woman driver essentially drove into a brick wall (brick wall, stopped truck - it is all the same; she wasn't looking to make a difference) and flipped her car. hats off the Good Samaritan for teaching a lesson in inattentive driving!
