A woman was killed by a car spinning out of control in Interstate 80 in the Sierra on Thursday.

Traffic on I-80 was brought to a standstill after the accident killed the woman near Soda Springs.

It started when a Lexus spun out and someone stopped to help.

“A good Samaritan in an FJ Cruiser stopped to help these folks, get ’em towed out and hooked up to a tow strap,” said a CHP Captain.

The man and woman got out of their car as it was being towed out, and then a second Lexus spun out.
