I also thought it was Ireland!
Links are all well and good, but sometimes the article at the link also lacks mention of the state, as it is considered local news.
And then there are articles which lack dates… but I won’t go there!
Just went to the link. No mention of the state, but the pics look like US rather than Ireland.
In the third to last paragraph, Dallas is mentioned, which might be helpful if there weren’t 13 other places named Dallas in the US….
Put it in KEYWORDS when posted...or add it if poster forgets to include

I always like Kid Killeen:
If he had been hit by a car that was obeying the speed limit on an interstate, would he really have been in better shape after being hit (or would he have simply been a better-looking corpse)?
I actually put both Killeen and Texas in the keywords.
If the hypothetical driver wasn’t speeding, he would have more time to see the walker up ahead, presumably.
As for the article, no telling with these particular ding dongs, who hit him and then went on their merry way.
I remember back in the ‘80s I saw an elderly woman walking down the interstate in her nightgown. I was already past by the time I absorbed that and almost to work so I called it in when I got there. I always hoped she was all right!
Had the sun risen at that time?
Several stretches of I80 and I40 here in Utah where it is legal to ride a bicycle on the freeway. No other way through.
Yes I know - insane.
“he was hit and killed by several vehicles”.
Wondering how many times he was killed...
A motorist travelling at 5,280 feet per minute/88 feet per second is going to be hard-pressed to react to someone walking 3.5 MPH on the road in time to avoid striking him.
(In a residential neighborhood with a 25 MPH speed limit, we might tell people to drive cautiously. On an interstate with a 60 MPH speed limit, we can only tell people to stay off the road.)
How many times was he hit and killed ?
That’s a good question.

Dolly Parton wrote that haunting song about it too:
Killeen, Killeen, Killeen, Killeen
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Killeen, Killeen, Killeen, Killeen
Please don’t take him just because you can
Suicide by car.
Interstates are all clearly marked as off limits to pedestrians and bicycles for very good reasons.
Probably driven by illegal aliens who didn't want to talk to the police.
Bingo.
