Richardson Police Investigate Fatality After Man Exits Moving Vehicle

Richardson Police Department is investigating after officers found an adult male passenger with severe injuries on the eastbound service road of President George Bush Highway at Waterview Parkway, police say. The man was pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded to multiple 911 calls about a person lying in the roadway.

Officers arrived at roughly 1:45 p.m. on March 2, 2026, following multiple calls reporting a person lying in the roadway on the eastbound service road at Waterview Parkway, according to local reporting. When officers arrived, they located an adult male suffering from severe injuries and pronounced him deceased at the scene.

Investigators have preliminarily determined the man was a passenger in a pickup truck traveling eastbound when he exited the moving vehicle and struck the pavement or ground. Authorities have said no foul play is suspected at this time, and the victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Richardson Police Department is the investigating agency and officials have not yet released details about the driver, the pickup truck’s make or ownership, or whether the driver remained at the scene. No autopsy or toxicology results, cause of death, or information about whether the exit was voluntary or accidental have been released so far.

National Today noted the incident raises questions about the circumstances that led to the man exiting the moving vehicle and about safety on that stretch of roadway. Local reporting makes clear investigators have not indicated any specific next steps publicly, and media outlets cited the investigation as ongoing.

The March 2 incident on the service road near Waterview Parkway is distinct from a February traffic crash and rollover on the President George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton that involved a separate multiagency response; that earlier February incident occurred at a different location and time and is not connected to the Richardson fatality. Richardson police continue to investigate the March 2 death and have not released further information about the vehicle, driver status, or a definitive cause of death.
