A heartbreaking incident near Clearfield, Utah serves as a sobering warning about the dangers of working on a vehicle along a busy freeway. A man attempting to swap out a flat tire on the shoulder of Interstate 15 was struck and killed, underscoring just how risky that roadside spot can be.
Plenty of drivers have changed a tire on the side of a highway without a second thought, but passing traffic moving at speed leaves almost no margin for error. When possible, reaching an exit or calling for assistance is far safer than risking it on the shoulder.
