Man is flung out window of truck doing donuts, gets run over and dies, Texas cops say

A man in Texas is dead after he fell from the window of a truck doing donuts early Sunday, police say.

Crystian Hernandez, 20, was perched on the rear driver-side window of a truck as the driver — Edgar Moncada, 28 — performed “donuts” in a Dallas parking lot around 1:30 a.m., Dallas Morning News reported.

Hernandez was holding onto the vehicle but fell from the window as the truck spun clockwise, KXAN reported. He was then run over by the rear driver-side tire, according to the outlet.

Hernandez was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, WFAA reported. Moncada was arrested and charged with manslaughter, according to the outlet.

His bond was set at $25,000, jail records indicate.
