Accident – Death – Obituary News :

In a shocking turn of events in North Platte, Nebraska, a good Samaritan, Richard Ortiz, is fighting for his life after being run over and critically injured by a man he was trying to assist. The incident took place when 32-year-old Abraham Pacheco allegedly stole Ortiz’s pickup truck with a camper attached and ran him over while fleeing from authorities.

Ortiz, who is currently in critical condition in the hospital, had approached Pacheco, believing he was in need of help after what seemed like an accident. Little did Ortiz know that his act of kindness would lead to devastating consequences for him and his family.

According to family members, Ortiz suffered severe injuries in the incident, including a nearly scalped head, a broken hip, broken pelvis, and several broken ribs. Tragically, Ortiz’s two beloved dogs, who were inside the camper at the time, lost their lives in the ordeal.
