an killed after falling from pickup on freeway
Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle
A man was killed Friday night when he fell out of a pickup on the Southwest Freeway and was run over by it and other vehicles, police said.
The man, identified as William Thayer, 23, was riding in a passenger seat in a Ford pickup when he opened the door to urinate on the freeway while the vehicle was moving at freeway speed, police said.

I can't help but think that alcohol must have been involved; although the story does not give any indication of this. Not only was there a lack of judgment as to the danger of such a stunt, it also apparently never cross the guy's mind that, even if he was successful, the urine would likely blow back in on him. Or the fact that the Southwest Freeway (US-59 on the southwest side of Houston between downtown and Sugarland) is extreemely busy at all hours and that he would be exposing himself to many others. But I guess modesty wasn't inherited, either. Submitted on 06/16/2003
