CINCINNATI (FOX19) - A pedestrian was struck and killed on I-75 south in St. Bernard late Thursday night.

St. Bernard police say their preliminary investigation indicates that a Ford Explorer had become disabled and came to a stop in the second lane of I-75 at the 6.7 mile marker.

Police say the driver got out of the Explorer and was walking over to a good Samaritan who stopped to help, when a black SUV struck the driver and then the good Samaritan’s car.

Medics arrived on the scene around 11:30 p.m., but the man had died.

He has been identified, but his name will not be released until the family is notified.

Cincinnati police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are assisting St. Bernard Police with the investigation.
