I drove right past this last night...sad
There is a homeless camp/tent city on the west side of 99 on Highland Park Way SW...Maybe this man was walking to or from the camp. Â I see people walking around that area quite a bit. Â No matter, I hope he was in shock and didn't realize what was happening. Â
My sympathy for the family and friends of this man.
RIP. Sorry for the drivers too. That must be horrible.
Hey Ken,maybe they were texting.
"...and traffic was be routed..."

Really?
