Truck driver kills woman by tossing her from semi

ST. JOSEPH, MO (KCTV) -
A Mississippi truck driver is accused of throwing a woman from his semi as he drove along a busy interstate.

The Broward County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday arrested 49-year-old Kent Harris in Deerfield Beach, FL. Prosecutors in Missouri charged Harris with involuntary manslaughter.

Harris, of Greenville, MS, was wanted in connection with the death of 46-year-old Kecia King, of St. Joseph, who was found severely injured on Interstate 29. King later died from massive traumatic injuries.

A witness observed King leaving a bar with a heavy set balding black man, walking towards a tractor-trailer, according to a probable cause statement.

Officers then contacted the trucking firm for whom Harris is employed and were able to track his vehicle location to the vicinity of the bar at the same approximate time in which King left the bar.

Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers found King about 11:30 p.m. Saturday near the 45-mile marker on Interstate 29 near Pickett Road in St. Joseph. Motorists called the Missouri Highway Patrol after spotting the woman lying beside the interstate.

According to court records, the trucking firm's records confirmed Harris' vehicle was located at the 44-mile marker about 11:10 p.m.

A preliminary autopsy report listed Kings' death as being from head trauma, resulting in swelling consistent with a fall from a moving vehicle.

Troopers with the Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control in Florida are assisting with the investigation.

Harris is currently being held in the Broward County Jail. Once he is brought back to Missouri, his bond has been set at $100,000.

He should get raped by a horse!

Honestly, I don't understand how he could force her out. the amount of stretching involved, and keeping control of the truck... my guess is he tried to rape her, refused to pull over ans let her out, so she jumped out.

idk though, i wasn't there.

@TheSoccerifying Naw he would like it and get reminded of his dad

@casanova601 I agree that it's very unlikely,but a woman randomly choosing to just jump out of a moving truck is also very unlikely.

Like I said, he probably attempted to molest her or threatened her in some way which caused her to jump out. In my opinion, if he put her in a position where she felt her best choice was to jump, and that killed her, then he is still responsible for her death.

No offense, but as a truck driver yourself, I think your opinion may be a little biased.

@wburton16 of course people jump from moving vehicles all the time it just happened here in ohio where a woman jumped out of a car going down the highway. me being a truck driver there is no way that he could have gotten out of his seat with a 53ft trailer behind him with a load that may have weighed 44,000lbs then the entire truck and trailer would have weighed 80,000lbs max legal weight. get up. keep it straight. fight her and open the door to push her out......my opinion impossibe

[wburton16]

@casanova601 I'm not saying the truck driver shouldn't be considered guilty of something. even if he didn't throw her out, a woman wouldn't just jump from a speeding truck.

[casanova601]

@wburton16 i agree with you. there is too much room in a big truck to get up and throw somebody out the truck while driving. this dude dont know what the fuck he talkin about. he just talkin shit accusing the man without a fair trial. who is he to put a vlog up asking others what they think they should do to someone. i been looking at some of his postings in the past and honestly his vids suck and he needs to delete his boring ass account........oh yeah a truck driver said this
