Man Dead After Hitching A Ride On The Back Of Tanker Truck In San Francisco

There are things that are common sense and there are things that one would think is common sense.

One would think it’s common sense not to hang on the back of a moving 18-wheeler but, apparently, it is not.

A man in San Francisco was hitching on the back of a tanker truck according to Officer Gordon Shyy.

The tanker took a turn from Mason Street onto Turk Street which caused the man to lose his grip, fall, and trampled over by the very truck he was holding onto.

The man’s name has yet to be revealed.

The driver of the truck “left the scene” though it is more than likely that the driver didn’t even notice the man hitching a ride on his truck.

The truck and it’s have not yet been identified.
