PHOENIX —
A 21-year-old man who refused a ride and tussled with a cab driver who tried to stop him from driving was dead a few minutes later after rolling his sport utility vehicle.
Witnesses told police that Caleb Schmidt was drinking late Friday into Saturday morning at a north Phoenix bar. They say they pleaded with him not to get behind the wheel early Saturday morning.
Police say Schmidt even tussled with a cabbie who tried to block him.
As he drove off, witnesses say Schmidt immediately lost control.
The SUV did a 180-degree-turn, struck a concrete median and hit a tree.
The vehicle rolled onto Schmidt, who had fallen out of an open door. Schmidt died in the accident.
Schmidt's blood alcohol content could not be determined at the time.
