15 Oct Man Dies After Apparently Exiting Moving Vehicle in North Lubbock

A 36-year-old man died early Thursday in north Lubbock after he apparently leapt from a moving vehicle, police said.

Officers were sent to the 4100 block of Idalou Road shortly after midnight to help EMS, according to the Lubbock Police Department. A preliminary investigation indicates he was a passenger in a vehicle headed east along the frontage road before he left it.

He was taken to University Medical Center with serious injuries and later pronounced dead.

The department’s Major Crash Investigation Unit is handling the case. Police reported no other injuries, and it wasn’t immediately clear what led to the incident or whether anyone else was involved.
