Good Samaritan Puneet Nehra hit by alleged drunk driver Gregory Kure, 30, on Grand Parkway in Fort Bend County, Texas
Good Samaritan missing after alleged drunk driver plows into crash scene
"We didn't realize that it had happened until it was time to clear the scene and we had one more vehicle than we had drivers, and that's when the deputies had to reassess what happened and figure out where he might be," said Maj. Chad Norvell, with the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.
The car crash happened occurred at approximately 9 p.m. Sunday on the Grand Parkway over the Brazos River. Authorities said Puneet Nehra, of Sugar Land, had stopped to assist with a crash on the bridge when an intoxicated driver crashed into the initial accident. Investigators said the suspected drunk driver, Gregory Kure, 30, of Needville, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
