A man was killed and two others were injured early morning Sunday when the man's car broke down on Highway 394.
The man and his wife were driving home about 2 a.m. from a night out when the 1999 Pontiac Grand Am they were in broke down along the side of Highway 394 near Lynwood. Reportedly, an officer stopped to help the couple and said he would call for help but was unable to stay at the scene. The couple later told the tow truck driver the officer had called they no longer needed him because a friend was heading to get some tools to help them.
A good Samaritan driving by then stopped to try to help start their car. When the two men went to check the battery, another vehicle then hit the men and the woman, killing the driver of the Pontiac and seriously injuring the good Samaritan as well as the passenger in the Grand Am.
Police said the driver who hit the three was later in another accident and was being held in custody but no charges had been filed as of Sunday afternoon.
