Mormon bishop dragged 10 feet after being Good Samaritan

A Good Samaritan who stopped to help a motorist stopped in the middle of an intersection Saturday night ended up being dragged several feet, police reported.

Edwin Tanner saw the car stalled in the middle of the intersection at 2300 East and 3300 South and went to help. He opened the driver side door and found a 57-year-old man passed out in the driver’s seat.

The car was still running, and the man’s foot was on the gas pedal. Other bystanders got out of their cars and helped to push the car as Tanner put the car in neutral and began to steer the vehicle.
