This morning, just a couple of hours ago, a Ft. Worth Police officer died. In attempting to help a woman with a flat tire, his cruiser was struck from behind by an oncoming car. Both the cruiser and the car that hit it burst into flames. The officer was pronounced dead while still in his cruiser. The officer's name has not been released as yet but they have said that he leaves a wife and two children.

This happened on I-35, just south of downtown. The road is 5 lanes wide at that point with Sunday morning traffic being near nil. Still, an officer is dead. PLEASE the next time you see those flashing lights on the side of the road, slow down, change lanes, give the guy the room he needs.
