A 69-year-old tow truck driver fell to his death off a Florida highway overpass while helping to right an overturned tractor-trailer on the morning of April 12.

The trailer tipped on its side and was left hanging halfway over the edge of this off-ramp.

Richard Jason Randolph had stepped over the guardrail to attach a cable to the overturned trailer when he fell to his death.

The accident occurred at about 6 a.m. on Interstate 95 near Boca Raton, Florida.

All three southbound lanes of I-95 had to be closed for about five hours while the truck was righted.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.
