According to the Houston Police Department (HPD), a red Kenworth tractor trailer was traveling south on the Eastex Freeway when a 25-year-old man “jumped and climbed onto” the truck’s trailer without the trucker’s knowledge.
The men started dancing and possibly registered, HPD said. “As the 18-wheeler passed under the Tuam Street bridge, the man was hit and thrown from the trailer onto the main carriageway.”
Ambulance personnel arrived at the scene and took the man to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
