1 dead after semi-truck hits man walking on US Highway 59 in Burke
BURKE, Texas (KETK) – The Angelina County Sheriff's Office said one man has died after he ran into the path of a Kenworth truck tractor on U.S. Highway 59 in Burke on Friday.

The sheriff's office said Nathaniel Jared Yinger, 40 of Westminster, MD, apparently left the roadway at around 1 p.m. in a yellow Honda Fit which got stuck in the median to the left of US Highway 59 northbound, just south of Stringer Road.
According to a press release from Angelina County Sheriff Tom Selman, evidence gathered at scene indicated that 'Yinger knowingly exited the median on foot where his car was stuck and ran into the inside northbound traffic lane directly in the path of a Kenworth truck tractor/semi-trailer combination transporting a load of passenger cars.'
When Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and sheriff's office deputies arrived, Yinger's body was found dead on the highway, Selman's press release stated. They began investigating the scene and Justice of the Peace Precinct Four for Diboll, Judge Rodney Cheshire, arrived to pronounce Yinger dead.
The troopers and deputies are currently doing a in-depth inquiry into what might have caused Yinger to go out onto the highway. The Kenworth truck was inspected, no violations were found and the sheriff's office said no charges are expected in this case.

Stars Captain Jamie Benn Makes Intentions Clear on Testing Free Agency
Stars Captain Jamie Benn Makes Intentions Clear on Testing Free Agency originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jamie Benn made his offseason plans known as the Dallas Stars cleared out their lockers following another Western Conference Final exit. Advertisement The 35-year-old captain, who can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, said on Saturday that he intends to keep playing next season and wants to remain with the only NHL team he's ever known. "I'm going into the summer planning on playing next year," Benn said. "Prepare like I do every summer like I'm going to play." The veteran forward added he has no interest in testing the open market, hoping to reach a deal with the Stars through June. "I don't see myself going anywhere else," Benn said. "This is all I know. Hopefully we can figure something out." Benn just completed the eight-year, $76 million contract he signed back in July 2016. Advertisement He has spent 16 seasons in Dallas since being drafted in 2007, becoming the longest-serving captain in franchise history and ranking second all-time in goals, points, and games played for the franchise. Benn had a subpar season this year, scoring 49 points in 80 regular-season games. He also had a down postseason, notching just three points in 18 playoff games after scoring 15 in 19 games last year. Dallas Stars left wing Jamie Benn (14) skates during the warmup period against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Belski-Imagn Images Stars owner Tom Gaglardi confirmed there's mutual interest between the franchise and Benn's return to Dallas in an interview with The Dallas Morning News' Lia Assimakopoulos. "I think we want Jamie, and Jamie wants to be here, and it's pretty clear he can still play," Gaglardi said. "With Jamie, there's just been really no talk about a future deal (as of April 21). The two parties are gonna sit down, and Jamie's going to decide if he wants to play and how much longer. Advertisement "I don't think it's going to be a difficult, contentious process. We love him, and he loves us, so I think if he's playing hockey, it's going to be as a Dallas Star." The Stars are projected to enter the offseason with just under $5 million in cap space, per PuckPedia.
