This ranks up there with a Tampa local story ...

Trooper shuts down interstate traffic to facilitate ducks crossing highway.

How much greater is there a chance of an accident from stopped traffic when stupidity rules one’s brain?

Sometimes animals block traffic, and a driver tries to help by getting the animal(s) out of the way. Once, we saw a driver hop out to move a very large, slow turtle out of traffic. Another time, two of us pulled over to chase little puppies out of the street. I’m guessing this man was doing the same thing.

Reminds me of a few local stories about people who were hit and killed while helping stranded drivers. Good Samaritans, just trying to do the right thing.

Akin to early episodes of “Animal Rescue” on the History channel. Animal control officers weaving in and out of traffic, sirens blaring, to arrest a woman with 30 cats.
