According to police investigators, Reyes, who was in a blue 2005 Ford F150 pickup truck, got out and confronted a man who was in a pearl-white Lexus.<\/p>\n

Investigators told the media that both men began fighting and Reyes ended up underneath a commercial tractor-trailer that was also at the intersection as result of the fight.<\/p>\n

KFOX 14 News reports:<\/p>\n

Soon after, the victim was lying on the ground the traffic light turned green and the tractor-trailer drove off, running over the man. Police believe that the truck driver was unaware that his vehicle ran over the man.<\/p>\n

Police said Reyes died instantly.<\/p>\n

He was seen lying in the middle of the street before his body was covered.<\/p>\n

Special Traffic investigators questioned the passenger who they say was a friend of the victim.<\/p>\n

The other man involved in the fight left the scene soon after the incident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Police told KFOX14 they’d like that man to come forward since he was a witness to the man’s death. He is described as Hispanic in his 20s, about 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds. They said he has a short hair, which can be described as clean-cut. He was last seen wearing a muscle T-shirt.<\/p>\n

The driver of the 18 wheeler who police said is a key witness was found Thursday afternoon. Police did not say if the truck driver knew what had happened.<\/p>\n

The incident remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
