Dude runs out of gas but tries to cross the highway on foot. If I’m walking to get gas I walk along the shoulder to the next exit, I don’t try to cross the highway.

People called 911 to report a guy in the middle of the lane before he was hit. So clearly he tried to cross. But why would you ever do that??

I’m so confused. Definitely need the toxicology report because this sounds like a decision you’d only make if you were drunk or high, right?

Depends on the layout of the highway - if he ran out of gas in the HOV lanes on 95 south of the beltway he might have to walk for miles to reach a safe exit, vs. crossing immediately and being in walking distance of a gas station. Not saying thats the case but it could be the reason why he tried to cross. If he was in the active lanes and the next exit was miles away he might've thought crossing was the quickest route.

Sad thing is VA literally has huge fleets of mobile trucks whose job it is to assist stranded drivers - and they carry gas with them specifically for situations like this. Not sure if that's the case in Florida or not but I bet if he had stayed put someone would've showed up to help - a cop, mobile safety truck - lotta people working that highway that know it isn't safe to be out on foot out there.
