Texas Marine Corps reservist struck and killed while aiding car accident victims
A Marine Corps reservist was hit and killed while helping victims of a car accident on Interstate 20 in Arlington, Texas, early Sunday morning.
The Good Samaritan was 23-year-old Alvaro Rios of Dallas, Texas. Rios, an aircraft engine mechanic, was en route to a monthly drill at NAS JRB Fort Worth when he happened upon the three-car accident. He stopped to aid the victims and direct traffic around the crash.
Rios was struck by a passing motorist who attempted to drive around the accident site. Rios was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the driver was not intoxicated or speeding when he hit Rios. At this point police say it is unlikely that the driver will face any criminal charges.
Two people involved in the initial accident were sent to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
