An off-duty Sarasota paramedic giving first aid to an accident victim on the side of I-75 was struck and killed by a passing motorist.
Florida Highway Patrol officials say a driver hit the parked vehicle of a drunk driver who had randomly stopped his car on Interstate 75 early Sunday morning.
Authorities say a Good Samaritan, 59-year-old Wesley Weysham, helped pull the alleged drunk driver, 32-year-old George Evans, from his car and began giving him medical treatment.
Another car then crashed into Evans’ truck, causing it to hit Weysham and burst into flames.
