The 25-year-old man was dancing on top of a trailer slammed into an overpass and died.

The unidentified man was knocked off an 18-wheeler on Eastex Freeway in Houston, Texas, around 11.30am on November 10.

Footage recorded by a driver shows the man standing on a white truck and dodging one overpass. He then gets up and moves his hips and arms and appears to be looking to the right when a second overpass hits him.

It happened as the truck moved under the Tuan Street Bridge, according to the Houston Police Department.

The man was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

The truck driver was questioned and released after he was found not to be impaired.
