No Good Deed goes unpunished NY Motorist's Good Deed Proves Fatal
AP
CATSKILL, N.Y. (June 29) - Police say a New York man running to the aid of another motorist fell to his death from a bridge, apparently because he didn't know there was a large gap between lanes.
State police say 44-year-old Kevin Ryan, of Mount Kisco, was traveling on Route 23 in the town of Catskill, 30 miles south of Albany, around 10:45 p.m. Sunday when he noticed a vehicle overturned in the opposite lane.
Investigators say Ryan stepped over a concrete barrier unaware there was a 17-foot wide gap between the eastbound and westbound lanes of the bridge. <<<One should always be aware of one's surroundings...
He fell nearly 50 feet to the rocks and concrete below. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Troopers say the driver of the other vehicle suffered minor injuries....
Hmmm.... and Ryan was blind? or maybe blind in one eye..no depth perception.

It's known as tunnel vision...he focuses ONLY on the wreck rather than the surroundings...

May he RIP
