Man injured after jumping from pickup on overpass
By Steve Nash — Brownwood Bulletin

A 23-year-old passenger was injured when he jumped or climbed out of a pickup as it was driven across the Truman Harlow Overpass early Sunday morning, police said.
Samuel Juarez Jr. was taken to the Brownwood Regional Medical Center emergency room after the incident, which happened shortly after 1 a.m., police said. Juarez was not listed as a patient as of Monday.
Officer Brandon Arnold was dispatched to the 1500 block of Main at 1:16 a.m., and arrived less than a minute later to find Juarez lying in the road with a head injury, Arnold’s report states.
The driver of the pickup told Arnold he and Juarez had been drinking at a club and were on their way to the driver’s house when Juarez unbuckled his seat belt, started laughing and began climbing out the window, Arnold’s report states.
The driver told police he did not slow down but tried to talk Juarez back in, looked away for a moment, and looked back to see that Juarez was gone, the report states.
The driver “freaked out” and did not stop, but was driven back to the scene later, where he spoke with police, according to the report.
There was considerable commotion as distraught friends and family members arrived, Arnold’s report states.
Juarez’s mother told police her son returned from Iraq in December and has post traumatic stress disorder, the report states. His mother said a social worker had set him up with an appointment at the veterans hospital in Temple.

Note from Steve Harris:

The above story is bad enough but what makes it even more personal is the " joking & sarcastic " commentary from Brownwood's talking heads ( Jessee Jones and JC Mclain ) on Brownwood "Hate" Radio (KXYL) this morning. Example of comments made on this mornings show by the morning show host(s) :

" He can't blame this on "PTSD" , maybe " PT "Jim Beam" ! ,
" He must not be too bad, he's not listed as a patient at the hospital ."
" Note from Griff " and something about checking the morgue !
--------------------
FYI - ( I've been told Sam was transferred by Helicopter to San Angelo's Shannon Hospital and is in critical condition in the ICU Unit ! ) I suggest folks call the station and request them to play their recorded comments back. There's more than I've listed ! Why am I not surprised that this would be coming from the bowels of Watts Communications via their employees/mics/transmitters and "our" airwaves !
