SAN ANTONIO — A man who stopped to lend a helping hand at a one-vehicle wreck on the Northwest Side Wednesday ended up pinned under the vehicle when a third driver slammed into the scene, according to police.

Emergency personnel responded at about 2:50 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Loop 1604 and Interstate 10, where a Hyundai Santa Fe had been involved in a single-vehicle crash.

Another driver, who stopped to help the driver of the Hyundai, was standing outside the wrecked vehicle when a Volkswagen Tiguan struck the Hyundai.
