Fort Worth man hit and killed by SUV after van runs out of gas

A Fort Worth, Texas, man was killed in a car accident Sunday night after being hit by an SUV.

The victim, 78-year-old Floyd Boortz, was standing outside his van on the service road of Interstate 30 putting gasoline into the vehicle’s tank along with a 20-year-old male, one of the van’s passengers. A Kia sports utility vehicle exited the freeway and struck the two men as well as the van.

The 20-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was critically injured. A 20-year-old female and a 2-year-old boy were also inside the van. Neither was injured.

Before the accident occurred, a good Samaritan driving a Dodge sedan stopped to help and parked in front of the van. After striking the two men and the van, the SUV then smashed into the parked Dodge. The driver of the Dodge was not hurt.
