STERLING — A motorist was struck by two passing vehicles and killed on Interstate 190 after getting out of his car to inspect a flat tire.
The fatality occurred about 9 p.m. Thursday on the northbound side.
The victim, a 29-year-old Orange man, had been driving a 2019 Subaru WRX on the southbound side of Interstate 190, according to state police.

The driver moved the Subaru into the northbound breakdown lane and exited the vehicle.
A short time later, while walking near the median strip, he was struck by two vehicles, police said.
