ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Palm Beach County authorities say a man who jumped out of a stolen U-Haul truck died after it ran over his head.

A sheriff's office report says Willie Lee Thomas III was taken to a hospital early Monday morning where he was pronounced dead.

The 24-year-old from Riviera Beach was trying to flee police after someone called 911 to report that his truck was stolen. The caller said he was following the thief.

Authorities caught up to the U-Haul and tried to pull it over, but the driver sped away. He then jumped out and was run over by the truck.

It then crashed into a tree. Police found a gun inside.

Authorities are looking for the 911 caller.
