Video shows man hanging off pickup truck on Mass. Pike

Wild video shows a man holding onto the back of a pickup truck as it drove on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston Tuesday morning.The man can be seen hanging off of the vehicle before dropping down onto the highway.Olban Santos, who recorded the video, said the man tried to get inside the truck several times.“I tried to honk at the guy, but the guy didn’t pay attention, he just drove off,” Santos said.The video shows the man holding on for at least 10 seconds before dropping off, picking up his lost shoe and moving on to the next vehicle.“He tried to get into some other car, and that’s pretty much it,” Santos said. “And the car there, they drove away.”Massachusetts State Police said they responded just after 10 a.m. to Mile Marker 134 on Interstate 90 eastbound after a report of a person having a mental health crisis.In addition to the incident recorded on video, police said the man had jumped onto the hood of a Massachusetts Department of Transportation vehicle before troopers arrived. MassDOT said it did not have any information about its equipment or personnel being involved.“I was surprised, and I was like, ‘Damn, that is not normal,'” Santos said.Police said the man was taken by Boston EMS to a nearby hospital to be evaluated.

‘Unimaginable loss’: Renee Good family urges ‘empathy’ in call for justice

Relatives pay tribute to ‘extraordinary mother’ and hope killing by ICE agent leads to meaningful changeRenee Good’s extended family said on Monday it wanted justice and accountability for her death at the hands of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, but urged people stirred to outrage by the shooting of the 37-year-old Minneapolis mother of three to root their conversations in “humanity, empathy, and care for the family most affected”.In a statement and in interviews with the Guardian, the family members – most of them relatives of Good’s late husband Timmy Macklin Jr, the father of her youngest son – paid tribute to Good, her children, and to Macklin, and said they hoped the “unimaginable loss” the family had suffered would lead to meaningful change and “fewer families [who] have to endure this kind of pain”.

Breer: How Chargers viewed TreVeyon Henderson entering 2025 NFL Draft

The Los Angeles Chargers targeted a running back with their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and ultimately decided to take North Carolina star Omarion Hampton with the No. 22 overall selection.In doing so, they chose Hampton over some other very talented running backs, including Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson. The Patriots were happy to take Henderson with their second-round pick at No. 38 overall, and he has rewarded them with an excellent rookie campaign. Did the Chargers consider Henderson at No. 22? And what did they think of his skill set entering the draft?Sports Illustrated‘s Albert Breer joined NBC Sports Boston’s Patriots Pregame Live before Sunday night’s Patriots-Chargers playoff matchup and explained Los Angeles’ thinking at the 2025 draft.More Patriots coverageNew England Patriots2 hours agoLive updates: Patriots host Chargers in AFC Wild Card gamePhil Perry8 hours agoPatriots find levity in Will Campbell's weekly Friday addressThe Quick Snap PodcastJan 7Why Patriots using flea-flicker in Week 18 could actually help vs. Chargers“They loved Hampton, and clearly they view him as the sort of player that Jim Harbaugh had in San Francisco when he built an entire offense around Frank Gore,” Breer said, as seen in the video above. “So he was a very clear pick for them at No. 22 overall. That said, if Hampton had been gone, Henderson would have been a consideration there for a couple of different reasons. “First, they viewed four backs as above the group, and it wouldn’t surprise anybody here those were Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, and the two guys out of Ohio State — TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. And they felt like, if they didn’t take one there at No. 22 overall, that by the time they were picking again, they’d probably be all gone. They were right about that.“And I thought what was really interesting about this one was when I talked to some Chargers people about it this week, I figured, ‘OK, well, they’re just such different players. You’ve got Omarion Hampton, who’s your prototypical 225-pound every-down back, and then you’ve got Henderson, who’s more of a specialty player.’“The Chargers didn’t see Henderson that way. They felt like Henderson could be a true three-down back. So had Hampton been gone, he would have been a consideration for them.”Hampton missed eight games in the regular season due to injury, but he’s played well when healthy. He ran for 545 yards (4.4 per carry) and four touchdowns, in addition to 32 receptions for 192 yards and one receiving touchdown. Henderson played in all 17 games and rushed for 911 yards and nine touchdowns, along with 35 receptions for 221 yards and one receiving touchdown. He also had four rushing touchdowns of 50-plus yards, which tied a rookie record. Both teams found a quality running back in the 2025 draft. And it wouldn’t be surprising if one or both players make a profound impact on the outcome of Sunday night’s AFC Wild Card Round game at Gillette Stadium.This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.
