A man fleeing federal immigration authorities and other federal agents was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on Tuesday, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The unidentified 28-year-old Mexican citizen was among four people in a vehicle that was stopped in a gas station parking lot just before 6:45 a.m. in St. Augustine, Florida<\/a>, the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

All four occupants fled on foot during an encounter with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations<\/a> (HSI). One ran across a busy road, was struck by an oncoming semitruck and was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
