Houston police said a citizen in a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV had a flat tire and pulled over off to the shoulder between the exit lanes and the main lanes.
That's when, authorities said, a Good Samaritan, driving a white Dodge pickup truck, pulled in front of the Santa Fe SUV, and tried to assist with helping to change the tire.
Officials said they had gotten the spare tire out of the back when a blue Toyota Corolla was struck from behind a couple lanes away from where they were at by an unknown vehicle.
