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.

I'm not surprised at this. Texans have been their own brand of crazy but the amount of Florida license plates have increased in my hole in the wall texan county for the past few years so I knew it was only a matter of time before Texas started challenging Florida for darwin awards.
 
The few times I've been to san antonio I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of spearchuckers, glad to see they're ever vigilant about removing them.

There’s something in that Riverwalk water that spawns Darwin Award winners like this guy
Honestly, it's surprising more people aren't randomly attacking vehicles considering the way people drive in this state. I know everybody thinks their area has the worst drivers in history, but having spent time in 20 different states throughout my life, Texas takes the cake for the worst I've ever experienced. The most stressful part of my job is the commute.

While I am not going to fault the driver since this shit is hilarious, how do you not see a man in a bright orange ... muumuu thing with a bright blue necktie? Like turn on your headlights, goddamn.

He tried, he really did.

But a nigga's gotta do what he yabba dabba do.

@Yamma Damma you didn't get your man under control, and now you're left a widow and single mother. Who's Dino gonna hump-tackle every night now?
I told him not to drink so much at the Water Buffalo Lodge, he told me not to smoke so much in the house. You can see who's habit was less deadly in the end. 🚬 As for Dino, he can always hump-tackle the sabertooth cat.
what a fucked way to go though. hope whatever family he had can give him a good send off.
 
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
They're a show that is on TV
Fucking, around in traffic
Fred got flattened by a HGV
Poor Fred wasn't long for the world anyway. His cholesterol and blood pressure was through the roof due to daily consumption of brontosaurus burgers and ribs as well as those eggs the size of car tires. He's durable as fuck, so it probably wasn't the car that killed him. Rather, his anger and being struck resulted in cardiac arrest.
