NASHVILLE – Steven Carney, 41, the man critically injured after he fell from a semi-tractor trailer on I-40 west near Bellevue Monday, has died.
The driver of the tractor-trailer reported that the man was standing on the interstate trying to stop vehicles. The tractor-trailer came to a complete stop, after which the man jumped onto the truck, hung onto the mirror and tried to open the passenger door.
