Frist, a surgeon, aids victims at Florida rollover

MIAMI -- Incoming Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist stopped minutes after a rollover accident on a Florida highway Wednesday, helping tend to the four survivors until paramedics arrived.

Frist, a surgeon, was about 35 miles from Miami and heading to a family vacation home when a sport utility vehicle going in the other direction rolled over, throwing out all six passengers. The senator helped the victims until paramedics arrived to take them to a hospital.

Two passengers died, including a 10-year-old girl.

Frist, R-Tenn., has helped others in medical emergencies.

In 1998, when a gunman opened fire in the U.S. Capitol, Frist rushed to aid the victims.

He treated one man who had been shot in the face and performed CPR on another man with a chest wound.

In 1995, Frist revived a 60-year-old man who collapsed.
