GREENVILLE, S.C. — Relatives said Sunday they were “heartbroken and empty” after a South Carolina woman who stopped to help at a crash scene fell off a bridge to her death.
Jessica Nicole Smith, 29, stopped at the scene of a truck crash shortly after midnight Saturday on Interstate 385 in Greenville County to look for victims, the county coroner said Sunday.
After finding no one in the cab of the truck, Smith — a certified nursing assistant — then leaned out over the bridge to call out for victims, Coroner Parks Evans said in a statement.
