The State Patrol said the collision occurred near I-35E and Tart Lake Road shortly after 6 p.m.
Forty-six-year-old Tushar Gupta was standing behind a stalled vehicle, when he "for an unknown reason" jumped in front of the first vehicle, the Patrol said.
A second vehicle behind the first also struck Gupta, who was already down in the roadway.
Gupta was pronounced dead at the scene. Neither of the drivers were injured.
Southbound I-35E was closed for a while, but has been reopened.
