Fairfield man dies after running onto freeway
12/21/07
TheReporter.com, CA

A 36-year-old Fairfield man was killed this morning when he apparently deliberately ran into traffic on eastbound Interstate 80 west of North Texas St.
The incident is being classified as a suicide.
The man, whose name has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin, apparently ran into the slow lane of eastbound traffic around 10 a.m. and was struck by a big rig driven by Eric Liao, 37, of San Leandro,
The pedestrian came to rest on the roadway between the slow lane and the lane adjacent to it. Upon CHP arrival, Fairfield Fire Department and Medic Ambulance personnel were attempting to provide medical aid to the pedestrian. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Several witnesses stated that they saw the man run out in front of a different big rig moments before he was struck. The first big rig was able to avoid colliding with him, however. The man went back onto the right shoulder and waited for the second big rig, according to the CHP. Witnesses stated that the man then ran out into the slow lane a second time where he was struck by big rig.
Traffic was snarled for more than an hour as a result of the incident but all lanes were re-opeend around 11:40 a.m., the CHP said. For more detail, see Saturday's print edition of The Reporter.
