Spencer Myers - Good Samaritan killed on a highway in California

Spencer, his wife Tammy and
his two children
Spencer West Myers, age 36, of Vacaville, California, died on April 18, 2013, on a highway in Dixon, California.

The incident began at about 4:55 a.m. when Maria Lopez, age 44, of Fairfield, lost control of her vehicle while driving east in the No. 2 lane west of Dixon Avenue. Her car overturned and landed on its roof in the fast lane.

Spencer was on his way to work and pulled over near the center divider east of the crash scene to help. He freed the woman from her seatbelt. A short time later, both Spencer and the woman were struck by a vehicle driven by Golden Pryor, age 32. They both were taken to the University of California at Davis Medical Center. Spencer died there at 6:11 a.m.

Maria Lopez is expected to survive. Golden Pryor was not injured, and has not been charged with any crime as of this posting. It appears that drugs and alcohol were not factors in this crash. The Police believe the third driver, Golden Pryor, did not see the flipped car or the two people on the side of the highway.

It is puzzling how a parked car (Spencer's), beside an overturned flipped car (Maria's), and two people standing upright could not be seen. Was speed or recklessness a factor in this tragedy?

Spencer was a skilled carpenter and made custom furniture and cabinetry. He could

also build guitars.

His wife stated that Spencer would give you the shirt off his back. He would help anyone.

His parents are devastated by Spencer's death. They state that he was and is well loved. He is their hero and they are proud of him. He will be forever mourned.

Spencer is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his mother and father; his wife, Tammy, and his young son and daughter.

Pray for those who die by misadventure. They are with us one moment and gone the next. Amen.

Spencer is a Good Samaritan. God knows the world needs more men like Spencer.

Let us pray that Spencer is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
