Immokalee business owner aids injured man after witnesses say he collapsed

R owner of Los Eloteros in Immokalee, says she stopped to help a man with severe injuries who collapsed near her business after he said he was hit by a car

Erica R, owner of Los Eloteros in Immokalee, stopped to assist a man with serious injuries who collapsed near her business on Saturday evening.

“I just, you know, felt the need that I needed to stop and help someone, and and I did,” R said.

R’s Saturday began like any other, preparing elotes and serving customers. Around 5:30 p.m., she went to the store for supplies and noticed two women, who had just left her business, helping a man lying on the ground.

“He had a gash on top of his head. He had a gash on his eye. He had a–a gash right in his arm. I mean, he–he had some he had some really ugly wounds on him and he was losing some blood,” R said.

The incident occurred at a bus stop in front of Lali’s Bakery, where R said the man collapsed.

“He was conscious. He was able to tell me what happened to him. He was able to say that a car hit him,” Rsaid.

Gulf Coast News reached out to nearby businesses for security footage of the incident but was unable to locate any video evidence.

“It’s sad, you know, because he was badly hurt. And I mean, I’m just glad that, I mean, we could at least help to get him some help,” R said.

R said she does not know exactly what led to the incident but hopes the man is recovering.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office has been contacted to determine what happened.
