Man dressed as Fred Flintstone attacking cars with ‘spear’ is fatally hit, TX cops say

A man wearing a Fred Flintstone costume was hit and killed while harassing traffic in Texas early in the morning on Tuesday, Nov. 2, police told media outlets.

The driver told San Antonio police it was dark and he didn’t see the man dressed as an iconic cartoon caveman until it was too late, KSAT reported.

It was shortly after 6 a.m. when the collision occurred, SAPD told the station.

Police received calls from several motorists concerned about a costumed man in the middle of O’Connor Road, in northeast San Antonio, swinging at passing cars with what appeared to be a “spear,” WOAI reported.

Investigators said he may have been wielding a broomstick or similar object as a weapon, the outlet reported.

After hitting the man, the driver stopped and tried to help him, but he died at the scene, KTSA reported. Police said the driver won’t face charges.

The incident is under investigation.

This is the sad reality of the Jetsons/Flintstones crossover.... Fred's poor undeveloped caveman brain can't comprehend modern vehicles as anything other than large beasts. Let's hope he gave The Great Gazoo his will.

He saw that they weren't powering the cars with their feet and thought it was witchcraft.
