ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — A man running from an encounter with immigration and other federal agents in Florida was struck and killed by a tractor trailer on Tuesday, authorities said.
The 28-year-old was among four occupants of a vehicle that stopped in the parking lot of a gas station and convenience store in St. Augustine before 7 a.m.
During an encounter with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Homeland Security Investigations, the four fled on foot, with one darting across a busy road into the path of the semi, Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Dylan Bryan said in an emailed statement. The driver of the semi stopped and tried to help the man, Bryan said.
It was the third death in about a week involving encounters with ICE agents, following shootings in Texas and Maine.

“It was the third death in about a week involving encounters with ICE agents, following shootings in Texas and Maine.”
Pay attention kids, crime doesn’t pay!
God certainly had this fellow’s number. Sometimes, it’s just time to go.
“Don’t play in the Street” -JoMama...
Past time to self deport....
Do not expect sympathy from me.
Hope the tractor trailer is ok.
Florida Pancake. Say, they should advertise those at Waffle House!
He fled the law and the law won...
What percentage of 80,000,000 does 3 represent?
Some good news as ICE is ordered to halt most vehicle stops after second fatal shooting.
Bad for the trucker...or anyone traveling that highway.
The Illegal chose poorly.
First, to illegally enter and live in America.
Second, to run from law enforcement.
Third, to dart into a busy highway to play with motor vehicles.
Forth, imo, he didn’t even qualify for Darwin Award consideration.
Shame these people would risk their lives to stay here instead of going home and applying for citizenship the legal way. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Self-deported
So, the criminal just drives away? And that’s good news to you??
Frogger !
Watch out for those semis .
Poor driver. Mandatory drug test, hours of paperwork safety reports. Time missed he could be earning. Plus likely damage to the grill or fender.
