A 50-year-old man who was hit by a vehicle after he jumped out of an ambulance on Interstate 24 has died from his injuries, according to a news release.
Emergency medical workers were traveling on I-24 on Sunday, transporting James Moore to a hospital, when he “became combative,” the release from the Chattanooga Police Department stated.
After the ambulance pulled to the shoulder to calm him, he jumped out of the ambulance, jumped over the concrete median and ran into the traffic of the westbound lanes, investigators said.
Moore was then hit by an oncoming car and transported to a hospital in critical condition and later died, officials said.
