But while they were parked there, a pickup truck driver sped into the stopped vehicles, according to the state patrol. The force of that collision threw the victim into the interstate, and multiple cars ran him over, Trooper Sherri Mendez said.
The man died at the scene. His identity has not been made public.
The pickup driver and one of the drivers who ran over the man stayed at the crash scene, Mendez said. Other drivers who may have been involved did not stop, she said.
