Unidentified Male, Bayou Body Count No. 40
What is it with people trying to cross the freeway on foot lately? In case you were unaware, this is a really, really bad idea. A man in his 50s died on Tuesday trying to make his way across the South Loop and now this.
Traffic
An unidentified man was struck by an oncoming vehicle at around 6:40 a.m. Wednesday at 7000 Southwest Freeway. It's dangerous enough attempting this in the daytime, but trying it in pre-dawn rush hour dramatically increases your chances of being hit.
The driver of the black Chevy Suburban who hit the victim stopped and later provided a statement to police on the scene.
HPD's investigation is continuing.
