I think that is such ########. If you want to die do it by yourself. Do not automatically get someone else involved in your dumb ####. This poor driver will probably be affected by this for a very long time. Not to mention he will be tested and lose a days wages sitting at the scene of the accident all day. Very inconsiderate of the person killings themselves in more ways than one,

I forget where I just passed through they actually put a fence on one side of the overpass. I assumed that it was to prevent people from jumping off into traffic. As I was typing this I remembered it was leaving Vegas. Someone loses a lot of money they might want to kill themselves.

No the man was not struck by a tractor trailer. he jumped in front of a tractor trailer from an overpass because he is a complete coward and gave that poor truck driver a memory he will never be able to forget and he may never be able to drive again after this... the way the news word their articles always makes it seem like the truck drivers fault.

How come cdlLife is the only source that has been able to determine the man jumped as opposed to somehow fell? All other sources either say he fell or say 'jumped or fell'. There is a pedestrian crossing there and the guardrail is maybe waist high.
Suicide by truck is more common than many realize and maybe this was a suicide but to run with that as the headline when there's no confirmation is irresponsible IMO.
A man was hit by a tractor-trailer after falling from the overpass on Powhite Parkway Thursday morning, sources close to the scene said.Sirscrapntruckalot, MIT, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this.
