A 43 year-old good samaritan and her husband stopped their 18-wheeler on the shoulder of Interstate 287. They came to the aid of a motorist in distress who crossed over the highway median, striking an embankment and dislodging a boulder into the roadway. An inattentive motorist traveling at a high rate of speed struck the boulder, propelling it onto the shoulder of the road where our client was standing, resulting in serious leg fractures.
