A tragic accident in the early morning hours of April 1 in Yorba Linda, California serves as a stark reminder that everyone should move over and give cars sitting on the shoulder of freeways some extra space.

Watch police push a fleeing SUV over onto its side.

Someone called 911 to report a possible body in the westbound travel lanes of CA-91. When Orange County Fire Authority and California Highway Patrol responded to the area, they in fact did find a deceased person in the freeway.

Authorities believe the unidentified person’s Nissan broke down while they were driving on the 91, so they pulled off onto the shoulder, says OnScene TV, which recorded the aftermath of the accident.

While the victim was trying to fix whatever problem their car was experiencing, it’s believed another car slammed into them and their vehicle.
