A Tampa man stopped to help after coming across a multi-vehicle crash on I-75 in Gibsonton. While assisting, a semi-truck crashed into one of the cars involved causing it to strike the good Samaritan, killing him.

The initial crash occurred around 2:40 a.m. along the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 near Gibsonton Drive. The driver of a black Toyota – a 19-year-old from St. Cloud – was heading south in the inside center lane and "failed to maintain its lane of travel," according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Meanwhile, troopers said the driver of a white Toyota – a 27-year-old man from Brandon – was traveling in the outside lane and stopped to avoid rear-ending the overturned black Toyota. A tan Ford was traveling behind the white Toyota and crashed into the rear of the vehicle after failing to slow down.
