The Grand Rapids man was struck and killed Saturday night
GRAND RAPIDS (AP) -- A 55-year-old Grand Rapids man who stopped to help a stranded motorist was struck and killed.
Police say Daniel Haynes was going to use his truck to help pull out the motorist's vehicle, which was stuck in the snow Saturday night.
The Grand Rapids Press reports a 21-year-old Grand Rapids man lost control of his vehicle and hit the front of Haynes' truck, pinning him between his truck and the stranded vehicle.
Police say witnesses tried to help Haynes before authorities arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.
Authorities described the roads as extremely slippery at the time due to falling snow and ice.
No traffic citations had been issued, and the investigation was ongoing.
