The Toyota also struck the good Samaritan’s vehicle.
The Hyundai’s driver was killed and the passenger from the Toyota was left with serious injuries, investigators said.
According to police, after the crash, the driver of the Toyota fled the scene, leaving behind a deceased victim in the roadway and his passenger with serious injuries.
Investigators said the deceased driver of the Hyundai has been identified as 23-year-old Orlando St. Louis II of Roswell.
