In the split second before, I bet it was a similar feeling as:

Some announcer is going to get fired this year when after a big hit he exclaims, "he's feeling right now like he got hit by a dump truck!"

The basic definition of homicide is a death cause by another person. There are four categories, excusable homicide (accidental), justifiable homicide (such as self-defense), manslaughter, (such as vehicular homicide), and murder. So yes, it would be called at first a homicide investigation until they determine which of the four types it would be.
Saturday I was northbound on 275 at around 3pm in Tampa, when some idiot darted across the freeway and came inches from being hit as he dove into median. Cars had to lock up their brakes from hitting him, almost causing a pileup.

When jboss gets out of his cage this kind of thing happens.

This sounds like his trainer watched the dodgeball movie, too many times...

If you can dodge a dumptruck, you can dodge a D-Lineman.

Have you ever seen a dumbass running across the interstate at night on foot?
No but saw bout half a bus load of Gator fans from FGTDC run across a busy 6 lane highway in Macon I think . We were on the way to Nashville or Knoxville and stoped for lunch, a wonder someone didn’t get smashed . All to get to a Applebees

This is sad. The only suicide I agree with is Jack Kavorkian style when one is facing end of life and is miserable and suffering.

Suicide? This makes more sense.
That's what I meant when I said I was starting to think it wasn't an accident.

It's the fact that he got hit by a dump truck. Not some quiet electric car that maybe you wouldn't hear coming or a car you might roll over the hood of, but a car that would guarantee no chance at survival.

A guy who had formerly been a teacher at my kids HS did this. He was having some mental issues and stopped going to treatment. His was driving with his cousin on the interstate and asked him to pull over. He then got out and ran into traffic. It was horrible. Before he started having issues which lead to him quitting the HS, he was actually one of the most popular teachers, with both students and parents, they had.
