A man fleeing federal immigration authorities and other federal agents was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on Tuesday, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The unidentified 28-year-old Mexican citizen was among four people in a vehicle that was stopped in a gas station parking lot just before 6:45 a.m. in St. Augustine, Florida, the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

All four occupants fled on foot during an encounter with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). One ran across a busy road, was struck by an oncoming semi-truck, and was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

“The pedestrian was struck by the tractor-trailer in the right lane and sustained fatal injuries on scene,” the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old truck driver stopped immediately and tried to render aid to the man, the agency said. FHP is currently investigating the traffic fatality.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to ICE for comment.<\/p>\n

The death is the third in about a week involving people fleeing or encountering ICE agents. In Texas, a man was shot and killed after DHS said he tried to ram agents with his vehicle.<\/p>\n

In Maine, another man was shot and killed while inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n
