DESOTO COUNTY - A man running from authorities died Tuesday after being stuck by a tractor trailer in DeSoto County.

Octavio Lopez, 35, of DeKalb, Illinois, was running at 12:58 p.m. on the north shoulder of State Road 70. Lopez was carrying a knife and running from DeSoto County Sheriff’s deputies, who were attempting to serve an arrest warrant, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

"Lopez was pronounced dead at the scene. The truck driver wasn't injured."

I guess that the truck driver didn't see the sign in time to stop.....

Lopez finds karma.

[Larry Lucido]

He was semi-conscious.

[Lurker]

I hate when that happens.

[Larry Lucido]

Lopez finds karma.

Or maybe Kama.

Good for the perp. My condolences to the trucker for having to live with the death

I’ve heard of karma.

Was the case of Mackma?

[Larry Lucido]

Lopez was carrying a knife and running

Always a bad idea.

Also a bad idea to bring a knife to a truck fight.

[Vaduz]

LOL

[Vaduz]

Body goes into truck once truck left over see math can be fun.

[Vaduz]

Not sure what Mackma means i r ignorant on some things.

Lopez was not killed by a semi, Lopez was got himself killed by stepping into the path of a moving big rig. Now that poor driver has to live with this scene in his mind for the rest of his life.

Some people just suck.

[Klemper]

Interesting way to self-deport.

Octavio got run over by a semi. He stole grandma’s song.

Yep, momma was right about running with sharp objects.

Why you shouldn’t run with sharp objects

Maybe I’m just harsh, but I creamed a pedestrian while driving my two week old 2006 Scion xB and don’t even think about it, except when I see something related on the internet (like this).

It was entirely his fault and I put it this way when discussing with friends: It was like being the engineer of one of thousands of trains on the tracks on a given day, only mine happened to run down a person that thinks they can cross the track at the same spot occupied by the moving train - and I should have no more “feelings” about it than any of the other thousands of engineers that day, and for one simple reason:

There is not a darned thing I could do to prevent it.
