Man Throws Woman off Overpass, Jumps to His Death
The Associated Press
Jun 10, 2004
RICHARDSON, Texas (AP) - A man pulled a woman from their Mercedes during a heated highway argument and pushed her off an overpass into rush-hour traffic before jumping about 80 feet to his own death. The woman landed on the hood of a car, which carried her a short distance before she fell off and was hit by another vehicle, said Richardson police Sgt. Kevin Perlich. She died at the scene.
Witnesses told police the man and woman were seen arguing on the shoulder of the President George Bush Turnpike just north of Dallas, Perlich said.
The man did not die immediately after his jump, Perlich said. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.
The relationship between the two was not immediately known. Police did not release their identities.
Southbound traffic along a three-mile stretch of U.S. 75 was at a standstill as police investigated the scene.
Just damn!!!!!
"Edith, one of these days, you're gonna push me to far."
Obviously this idiot just discovered that she was/is a fan of the GREEN BAY PACKERS!
It's George W. Bush's fault!
Let me guess. It was bad.
Was it Clinton?
Texas overpasses should be deemed a hazard. First the eggs, now people. Hell, you never know what might land on your windshield. And to think I used to get mad at birds flying over.
yep, it's another "insane Texans" story.. And they get to equate the death with our great President and mention his name in the same breathe..
I hate the media...
You know it was the turnpike's fault.
the turnpike was named after GHWB President 41
The article didn't state whether the woman survived. Does anyone know?
And note that the lead sentence mentioned that the man pulled the woman from "a Mercedes." Why is the make of the car newsworthy? If it were a Ford, would AP have mentioned it?
no mention of SUVs in the "oncoming traffic" ?
It says she died at the scene. If it had been an SUV that would have been in the headline. The deaths would have been the SUV's fault. The closest they can come in this is Mercedes.
