You have to move awfully slow to get run over. I mean its literally two steps to get out of the way.
If people would actually pay attention to there surroundings they might actually live.
Feel a bump? Just back up and try again

I'm not putting total blame on this driver, there's bound to be more facts coming out. But right about now Navajo ain't looking to good in my eye's. -
There use to be a joke about this subject...but out of respect for the deceased...I'll refrain. -
Lepton1 Thanks this.

How horrible. My condolences. Maybe we'll all be just a bit more careful and attentive at truck stops after hearing about this horrific tragedy. I know I will.

This is a decent blind spot. Your driving through the truck stop and someone pops out a few trucks ahead right in the blind spot. They keep walking while your driving forward and they stay in the blind spot. Some people don't even pay attention or even look untill they are close to the point of no return.
If you don't see the drivers face they can't see you, be careful. -
The first time he ran him over could have just been an unfortunate tragedy. The second time was criminal.

... (my apologies in advance for this tragedy)...
... these days I where a high visibility jacket in truck parking lots in addition to making ABSA####INLUTELY sure that NASCARwannabe "professional" drivers SEE me before I move. Way too many times I see truckers meandering through the middle of the parking lot, texting or talking on their phone without paying attention. When you combine that level of pedestrian incompetence with driver negligence it's no wonder that we have dozens of drivers killed every year as PEDESTRIANS in truck stops. -
Gotta get me a flashing beacon to mount on my hat!
Joetro Thanks this.
