A suburban Illinois man died in what police called a “freak accident” early Saturday, tumbling out of a moving party bus while attempting to turn up the radio.
Chicago 5 reports that James J. Larsen, 27, was on the bus as it headed northbound on I-294 near Lake Cook Road in Northbrook at about 3 a.m., Illinois State Police said in a release.
He was trying to turn up the radio volume when authorities said he tripped, falling down the stairs and out the bus door. He then fell backwards onto the expressway and an unknown car struck him, according to police.
Larsen, of Libertyville, was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
