Man falls to his death on Palmetto Expressway

A 28-year-old man fell to his death from a traffic sign catwalk onto the Palmetto Expressway Friday morning.

Enrique Vicente Olivera fell onto the southbound lanes of the Palmetto Expressway near Bird Road before a truck hit him after midnight, police said.

``The driver of a Ford Ranger pickup truck struck what he thought was debris in the road,''said Lt. Pat Santangelo, a Florida Highway Patrol spokesman. ``He stopped and realized it was a body.''

Authorities found a spray can with silver paint near Olivera.

Traffic signs above where police found the body were vandalized. The signs indicate the direction to Kendall, the neighborhood in which Olivera lived.

Santangelo said on Tuesday vandals are known to climb onto the traffic sign structure by making their way on catwalks that connect the signs to more accessible parts of the roadway.

Earlier this week, authorities removed large graffiti on damaged traffic signs on Interstate 95 in downtown Miami and North Miami.

R.I.P.

He died doing what he loved to do...vandalizing and defacing public property.

He will be sorely missed by the Walmart paint department and the public works department that had to waste so much time and money cleaning up after this fool.

It's never the fall, it's the sudden stop.

Almost burst out laughing (yeah, I guess W-M paint department will be depressed at losing a 4% gross-sales customer). As for P-W Department, well they might buy a keg (and toss it down) in his honour.
