PROVIDENCE, RI – A 61-year-old man from Florida succumbed to fatal wounds when he was hit by a Volkswagen SUV on I-95 Wednesday.
The events unfolded when the Florida man had stopped his car, along the Eddy and Barton Street exit, and got out of his vehicle, and tried to walk over into the I-95 South lanes from the northbound side, and was hit, Turnto10 reports.
Rhode Island State Police declared the man dead at the scene and have identified him as Kevin Elliot McCourt.
A short time later another collision happened on the southbound side near Exit 36B which blocked lanes. The impact of this wreck caused numerous dollar bills to come onto the road. The area cleared around 7 a.m.
