Two Republican lawmakers aided the survivors of a fatal four-car wreck on a West Virginia highway late on Thursday.

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Nevada Rep. Joe Heck were driving to a hotel after an event in Ohio when a semi-trailer truck from oncoming traffic crossed the median and hit three cars that were driving in front of them, according to Politico.

The accident occurred on a road in Wheeling, West Virginia, a town located in the northern panhandle of the state just near the Ohio frontier.

Immediately after the crash, Rubio and Heck, who received training as a combat surgeon following a decorated career in the military, tended to the victims.

One of them, Bernard Howard Bachmann, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene by Heck.

Rubio and Heck then helped extricate one survivor from their car and provided assistance to other victims until first responders arrived.

Authorities believe that inclement weather made the roadways wet, and that those conditions were what primarily contributed to the crash, WTRF reported.

'Lisa and I want to join the Rubios in offering prayers and condolences to those grieving and wish a speedy recovery to the injured,' Heck said in a statement.

'As always, we have great respect for the first responders who handle such cases every day.'
