Good Samaritan Struck by Car, Killed

Posted on Jan 04, 2012

Tammy Rhoades of East Texas was heading home from her 45th birthday celebration with friends this past Monday when she noticed a car stalled in the right-hand lane of Interstate 45 in Conroe. She stopped to help the man who had a flat tire.

Rhoades pulled up behind the man’s car and turned her flashers on to alert other drivers of the stopped vehicles. Shortly thereafter, Rhoades’ car was struck by a drunk driver.

The impact was so strong that her car was unrecognizable. The car’s seats were blown through the floor board and the rear end of the car was smashed into the front.

Conroe police arrested 21 year-old Tyler Shelton and charged him with intoxication manslaughter.

Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Tammy Rhoades in this difficult time.
