Police say that the man had been stealing copper wire from a nearby building and ran onto the freeway to avoid them. He was hit and killed by a car traveling northbound.
A suspected copper wire thief was struck and killed by a car while running away from police on the 55 Freeway in Tustin on Monday.
According to Tustin Police Department, officers were dispatched to a building off of First Street and Yorba Avenue at around 11:30 a.m. in regards to a person who was allegedly stealing copper wire from a building in the area. The caller told police that he was throwing the wire to the ground from the rooftop of the building.
Upon arrival, police found the suspect, a 32-year-old man from Santa Ana, pushing a shopping cart filled with the copper from the scene. When he saw the officers, he"ditched the stolen property, jumped a side of fence to the side of the freeway," a statement from Tustin police said. As they set up a perimeter in the area to search for him, the suspect jumped onto northbound lanes of the 55 FWY near First St. and Fourth Street, where he was struck by a car.
