Man dies trying escape road rage incident in Pasadena

A man died when he fell from a pickup after an apparent road-rage incident Wednesday afternoon in Pasadena.
The incident occurred about 5:30 p.m. on Preston near Red Bluff, according to Vance Mitchell, spokesman for the Pasadena Police Department.
Mitchell said men in two pickups initially had a confrontation as they were driving on the Beltway 8 service road. When they stopped a red light, a man jumped out of one of the trucks, dashed to the other pickup and broke out the driver's side door window. He punched the driver several times. The victim called 911.
When the light turned green, Mitchell said, the two pickups left but they pulled into a nearby parking lot and stopped. That's when two men leaped out of one of the trucks and rushed to the road-rage victim's pickup. One of them reached into the cab and grabbed the keys out of the ignition.
When the two men realized the road-rage victim was talking with a police dispatcher about the incident, they ran back to their truck. One got behind the steering wheel and drove away. The other tried to grab onto the back of the truck to get into the bed, but he fell off and slammed his head on the ground when the truck hit a curb. He died at the scene.
