ST. 
AUGUSTINE, Fla. 
(AP) — A man running from an encounter with immigration and other federal agents in Florida was struck and killed by a tractor trailer on Tuesday, authorities said. 
The 28-year-old was among four occupants of a vehicle that stopped in the parking lot of a gas station and convenience store in St. 
Augustine before 7 a.m. 
During an encounter with agents from U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Homeland Security Investigations, the four fled on foot, with one darting across a busy road into the path of the semi, Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. 
Dylan Bryan said in an emailed statement. 
The driver of the semi stopped and tried to help the man, Bryan said. 
It was the third death in about a week involving encounters with ICE agents, following shootings in Texas and Maine. 
Neither ICE nor the Department of Homeland Security immediately returned emails from The Associated Press seeking comment.
