The California Highway Patrol reported a man broke his back after falling from a freeway overpass about 9:45 p.m. Saturday. The man reportedly had a can of spray paint clutched in his hand as he lay on the freeway near the Main Street off-ramp from the Northbound 5 near downtown Los Angeles.
Here's a story about the extremes some taggers will employ for art's sake.

You are to kind calling the subject a man.
Please don't call what these vandals do art. Call it crapping where they eat.
To all of the homies who come here to grieve the fate of this young man, I offer a simple thought from the rest of society:
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I wonder what he can tag from a wheel chair?
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Occupational hazzard.
Poor kid. Somewhere a parent grieves.
Poor kid hopefully he will serve as an object lesson. I doubt it though, no one could dissuade me from my teen stupidity.
Yeah, poor kid. Could have broke his spray can.
Perhaps we should bring back child labor and keep the taggers busy.
