Va. Student Killed After Hitching Ride

Associated Press

HERSHEY, Pa. - A college student who hitched a seven-mile ride on the cab of a tractor-trailer without the driver's knowledge was run over and killed by the rig when he jumped off, police said.

The victim, a 20-year-old Chantilly, Va., man, who attended Lebanon Valley College, became entangled in the rear tires early Thursday as the truck was coming to a stop. His name was not released.

The victim and another student, Jonah Modesto, 21, had climbed onto a platform between the back of the cab and the trailer. Modesto jumped off the truck to tell the driver about the accident.

No charges were filed.olice said they do not know why the two young men hitched a ride.

Oh, please ... that would make way too much sense.  You know damned well there's a severe lack of that in society today.

Sounds more like he jumped in front of the vehicle.[rolleyes]

His college time no worky.

Is this actually the Darwin Award Winner, or just a possible nominee?  I think the guy who got decapitated while runnig away from the Atlanta PD should win the award this year!
