Officers made contact with the suspect at the scene but the man ran away. The suspect crossed the westbound lanes of the highway and was later hit by an 18-wheeler while in the eastbound lanes. It's believed the suspect may have been hit by a second vehicle.

Officers say the driver of the second vehicle did not stop at the scene but stopped down the road and made a phone call.
