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.

Interesting but Im not sure how we get the rest to stand on the road. Replace the dotted lines with tacos down the middle of the road.

Ever since time began there have been border crossings
to what ever was called a border. Hell look what old
Columbus did in 1492.

Does the AP ever report on the number of Americans killed by illegals week by week?

Thank goodness this time it wasn’t an ICE agent involved.

Or Large Marge as the semi driver...

Great question.

And CNN and MS Now could have a little running total box on the lower right of the screen like for Covid deaths.

Three deaths in one week??? Goodness gracious! At this rate it's going to take forever.

Well that tractor trailer sent him onto his after
life what ever that will be. Just look at what
Columbus set up in 1492. A entire contintent was
set up by invaders both white, black and red.

Yes, I feel sorry for the driver. Now he has to deal with uncountable layers of bureaucracy, wasting his time and coin.

How sad. For the semi driver, I mean.

Could be worse, the semi driver could be a semi literate illegal with a California CDL...
