The cost of friendship

A man is dead after coming to his friend's aid after he accidentally hit a girl with his car in a parking lot in Texas. When the driver got out to check the girl, a group of people from a festival being held in the park across the road set upon him. That was when his friend stepped in to help and was himself attacked by the mob who beat him to death. The killing is being investigated by local Homicide police.
The young girl was taken to hospital with "non-life threatening" injuries. The driver managed to escape relatively unharmed by driving away - and when the reports say "unharmed" you have to add your own "physically" because it's sure to have left him psychologically traumatised.
