Father killed by truck as he walked across America in memory of gay 15-year-old son who committed suicide after being bullied at school

A grieving father has been run over and killed during an attempt to walk across America in a campaign against homophobic bullying after his gay son took his own life earlier this year. Joe Bell was struck by a truck in eastern Colorado on Wednesday evening as he walked along the shoulder of a highway. The 48-year-old from Oregon began his 5,000-mile walk in April to raise awareness about gay rights after the death of his 15-year-old son Jadin in January.
