Man Falls Off Truck with Mattress on Loop 306

SAN ANGELO, TX - San Angelo Medics rushed a man who fell out of the back of a truck with a mattress in the 4100 block of Loop 306, by the mall and Lowe's Home Improvement, to Shannon Medical Center this afternoon.

A San Angelo Police officer at the scene said the man was traveling in the back of a truck, holding down some mattresses. When the truck came around a corner, the wind picked up and flung him and one of the mattresses out of the vehicle. 

"He's got injuries right now. I don't know what the extent [of the injuries] are," said the officer. 

He added that he doesn't believe the injuries are life threatening, but the man is currently being treated at Shannon Medical Center.
