Good Samaritan who helped stranded driver loses leg in Fort Lauderdale hit-and-run

A good Samaritan was helping a driver who ran out of gas in Fort Lauderdale when another car hit him from behind – and now police are searching for that driver who they say took off.

Yevhenii Arsirii was on his way home on August 11 when he saw someone pushing a truck along NW 6th Street. He pulled over and learned the driver ran out of gas, so he got out to help push.

Moments later, another driver hit Arsirii, another good Samaritan, and the truck from behind. Fort Lauderdale Police said that driver got out of their car and walked away.
