HOUSTON—One man may have accidentally caused his own death after he intentionally crashed his vehicle on the Highway 59 North feeder road early Tuesday, according to police.

Police found the man's body after responding to a fatal accident call on the 59/Eastex Freeway at Cavalcade around 2 a.m.

Police said the witness on the scene was a friend who was traveling behind the victim's big rig.

The witness said they were driving on the feeder road when his friend suddenly fell out of the big rig.

Police said the victim’s wounds were not consistent with the story and they called homicide detectives to further investigate.

After interviewing the witness again, homicide detectives said a more accurate story began to unfold.

said the man intentionally wrecked his big rig in an effort to collect insurance money. They said his plan was to jump out of the truck just before it crashed into a pillar.

Can't make money with the truck, destroy it!

When he jumped, the trucker fell to the concrete, banged his head and died.

Not part of the plan to get the loot....

Very unfortunately for the driver...
