A man in Houston, Texas, is dead after falling off the top of an 18-wheeler that he was dancing on top of when it passed under a bridge.

Houston police say the 25-year-old man was knocked off the top of the truck around 11:35 a.m. on Thursday while dancing on it along the US-59 Eastex Freeway, unbeknownst to the driver, KRIV-TV reported.

Police say the man jumped or climbed onto the trailer and appeared to be filming himself dancing.

Video of the incident was posted online by Grizzy’s Hood News and the man can be seen ducking under one overpass before standing up again and continuing dancing.
