A Good Samaritan who stopped to help at an accident scene on Friday died after stepping over a bridge railing and falling into a river below. Mark A. Ferguson, 27, of Omaha, Nebraska, most likely believed there was solid ground on the other side when he stepped over the railing and fell into the Stones River. Ferguson was able to swim to the bank of the river, but he was pronounced dead after being taken by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
