I drive for the same company my hearts goes out to the family for your lost he was a really nice guy
First cousin of Terry..Thanks to everyone who posted for their thoughts and prayers. We need them during this time. He was a very helpful person.
This is so sad and could have been prevented if people would MOVE OVER. There is a law in Alabama and Florida for us to MOVE OVER and if everyone of us as drivers would do this we wouldn’t have this happening. My husband and I have driven a Tow Truck for years and people Do Not want to get over in the daylight or dark. They just had a segment on the news about this very thing happening. Even if you are not able to get over please slow down and try not to wait until you are too close to a vehicle on the side of the road to not be able to get over This could be your loved one in the same situation! You have to be a defensive driver and be aware of other people’s driving whether good or bad. .God Bless this family and the rest of everyone who gets on the road.
Come on people! is it so hard to give a wide berth to vehicles stopped on the roadside? Another needless tragedy that has cost a man his life! MOVE OVER FOR ANY STOPPED VEHICLE!!!!!
Thoughts and prayers for all involved.
