Serial hero Richard Herron, 83, accidentally jumps off overpass to his death as he tries to help crash victim
Hero: Richard Herron, 83, did not stop to think of himself when he saw a driver lost control over her SUV and struck the barrier of Interstate 84- he got out in the pouring rain and got straight to work

Richard Herron, 83, leapt over the guardrail to avoid being hit by a car when he was directing traffic around a crashed vehicle, but didn't realize there was a 35-foot drop below. He died of his injuries. Mr Herron had previously pulled a crashed tanker driver from his vehicle before it exploded and helped hurricane victims.
