Houston, TX : Man killed after walking into traffic in front of police on Gulf Freeway early Saturday, February 18, 2017

One man is dead after he ran out in front of traffic on Gulf Freeway early Saturday.
Just after 2 a.m., police swarmed the scene at Gulf Freeway and Bellfort in response to multiple calls about a man in the freeway.
"He exhibited signs of having some kind of mental crisis," Houston Police Department Captain Daryn Edwards told reporters at the scene.

Police made contact and began talking with the man, who was walking in the shoulder.
"He was disgruntled in talking to the officer and just indicated he was having a bad time," Edwards said. "So the officer was trying to help him out, get him out of harm's way."
Suddenly, the man - who has not yet been identified - bolted into oncoming traffic and was fatally struck by a car. The driver, who did not appear to be intoxicated, stopped and cooperated with police.
Police said it appears the victim's actions were intentional.
