Pedestrian Run Over After Allegedly Trying To Kick Moving Semi's Tire
POSTED: 12:18 pm EDT October 27, 2005
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a bizarre accident.
Troopers said a semi was traveling northbound on Orange Blossom Trail near Lancaster Road around 3:30 Thursday morning when a man walking in the roadway flagged him down and asked for a ride.
The driver refused and started to drive away. That's when, troopers said, the pedestrian tried to kick one of the semi's tires and was run over.
"This gentleman had no business being in the roadway at all. If he wasn't in the roadway, we wouldn't have this incident right now," explained Charles C. Grant, FHP.
The pedestrian was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition. The driver was not ticketed.
