SARASOTA, Fla. (WTXL) — Four men were killed while trying to change a tire along a busy Florida interstate when a vehicle veered onto the roadway's shoulder.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the victims and three other people had been riding in a pickup truck towing a trailer southbound on Interstate 75.
A flat tire on the trailer's right side forced them to pull over. The four men were standing on the shoulder when a car driven by a woman from Lakeland, Florida, veered off the highway and hit them.
The woman and her passenger weren't injured, nor were the victims' three companions.
