The accident happened about 12:30 a.m. near exit 7 of I-91 north, according to state police at the Troop I barracks in Bethany.
Lauren A. Mohr, 34, stopped to assist two motorists and fell off a concrete wall and then off a bridge, they said. She dropped about 40 feet, state police said, calling Mohr a good Samaritan.

Mohr was a temporary worker in the undergraduate admissions office of Quinnipiac University, according to university spokesman John Morgan.
"She comes in during our busy season," he said.
She was the stepdaughter of Joan Isaac Mohr, vice president for Admissions and Financial Aid.
A graduate of Mark T. Sheehan High School in Wallingford, Mohr earned her associates degree from Middlesex Community College, Morgan said. She planned to study social work at Southern Connecticut State University in the fall.
At the time of the accident, she was returning from her job at Barcelona Restaurant and Wine Bar, Joan Mohr told Morgan.

State police tweeted a warning to motorists Thursday morning: People should refrain from getting out of their cars when on a highway, they said.
If a motorist's car becomes disabled, he or she should pull as far to the right as possible and call 911, they say.
