Good Samaritans rushed to help, but it was too late for the father of one of Detroit's hometown heroes Tuesday. Johnnie Bettis, 61, the father of Pittsburgh Steelers great Jerome Bettis, died in West Bloomfield.

Police told Local 4 it appears Johnnie Bettis had a heart attack while driving down Maple Road near Farmington Road.

A nurse, a doctor and a hopstial tech stopped to help when they saw Johnnie Bettis slumped over the wheel of his SUV, police said. All of them got him out of the vehicle and performed CPR in an attempt to save him.

Police said he had no pulse and was transported to Huron Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

So sad, still a young age for that tragedy. It is enough to make you stop and pause and take inventory...
