A minivan ran out of gas on the I-30 last night.  They pulled to the side of the service road where a Good Samaritan pulled over to help them.  They retrieved gasoline to refill the minivan, but that is when tragedy struck.

Two of the men from the minivan, which also had a woman and child inside, were filling the gas tank when a Kia SUV exited the highway moving and struck the them.  Then impact was enough to cause the minivan to hit the Good Samaritan’s car ahead and up over the guardrail.

The impact killed Floyd Boortz, 78, and seriously injured a 20 year old whose name has not been released.

The 20 year old woman was not injured and both her and the child were taken to the hospital for extra checks.

It is unknown as to why this tragedy happened. Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor. All parties were covered under insurance.
