Rios was one of the three men to exit the Chrysler Sebring to fix its flat tire. The disabled vehicle was on a median on Interstate 39/90 early Thursday morning in the Madison suburb of Burke when an Acura came out of nowhere and struck them.
Although Rios was able to get out of the way, the other two men with him were killed, as was one of the women in the back seat of the Sebring.
Officials are deciding whether to bring charges against the Acura’s 31-year-old driver. Authorities said that alcohol was a factor in the crash.
The victims were Marcus Johnson, 19, of Glendale; Elysia Rapp, 23, of Racine; and Wilfredo Ugarte, 23, of Puerto Rico.
