Joshua Thomas Taylor did, and he lost his life in the process.
Taylor, 32, and his Family were driving along I-65 south in Nashville, Tennessee, when the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said “his child threw a favorite toy out of the window,” according to Today.
Later that evening, just before 9:00 p.m., Taylor went back to the stretch of interstate to search for the toy. He was stopped by the Tennessee Department of Transportation, but continued to search when they tried to intercept him.
