   Man leaving incident of road rage dies from fall   
      
   A man died when he fell from a pickup truck after an apparent   
   road-rage incident in Pasadena, officials said.   
      
   Men in two pickups had argued as they were driving on the   
   Beltway 8 service road about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to   
   Vance Mitchell, spokesman for the Pasadena Police Department.   
      
   When they stopped at a red light, a man jumped out of one of the   
   trucks, ran to the other pickup and broke out the driver's side   
   door window, police said. He punched the driver several times.   
   The driver called 911.   
      
   When the light turned green, Mitchell said, the two pickups left   
   but they pulled into a nearby parking lot and stopped.   
      
   That's when two men leaped out of one of the trucks and ran to   
   the other. One of them reached into the cab and grabbed the keys   
   out of the ignition.   
      
   When the two men realized the driver was talking with a police   
   dispatcher about the incident, they ran back to their truck. One   
   got behind the steering wheel and drove away. The other tried to   
   grab on to the back of the truck to get into the bed, but fell   
   off and struck his head on the ground when the truck hit a curb.   
   He died at the scene.   
      
   The truck's driver sped away. The road-rage victim remained at   
   the scene, on Preston near Red Bluff. He was not seriously   
   injured, Mitchell said.   
      
   What led to the initial confrontation was unclear.
