Shortcut under semi-trailer

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 45-year-old man was run over by a semi-trailer and killed while crossing a street. Accidents happen and this may not seem unusual, but consider these circumstances.

The man who appeared to be intoxicated, decided to cross a very busy city street. He wasn't at a crosswalk, but fortunately the traffic was stopped at a light. All went well as he made his way through several lanes of stopped traffic until he got to the semi. Instead of going around the very long truck, he tried to take a short-cut underneath the truck. He almost made it but then stumbled and was crushed when the truck began to move when the light changed.

OK, this one is more detailed. It was poor judgment... But not "Hey, watch this!"
