    The guy hit was sub human.. Hitting a dog would be more detrimental for me.

    The trucker, didn't know that at the time.

    He just knew that the guy ran in front of him, and he ran him over.

    After reading the article, it brings to mind something that happened to me about a month or so ago.

    Don't remember what state I was in, but I recall one night driving down the highway and I see someone standing on the side.

    This is what caused me to call 911 and report it.

    The person was wrapped up from the head to the ankles in a grey tarp. It looked like a man from the way the tarp was shaped on him and I saw a pair of brown leather beat up looking boat loafer shoes.

    The person stood stock still as I drove by (going 55-60), but I'll never forget how he shuffled near the edge and didn't move a muscle as I drove by. I guess he thought he'd made it past the rumble strip to me or whoever came by.

    I tried to wish it away for a few seconds and say "nah, it's just a pole". But what pole wears shoes. So I called 911 to report a possible suicide.

    Too many times I see people on the edge of sidewalks staring me down as I go by or brake checking for no reason with no other cars around. Not to mention people walking across the street at night ...across lanes...and pausing...as I get closer to them. Wtf. GO!

    I never knew how crazy people were until I got into trucking. It's like that big piece of steel we drive is a rolling end to their misery. Never mind the driver. Pfft.

    If your going to commit suicide, call someone to help,..heck even stand to the side and I WILL call for help and talk you through it (were both human),...but don't smash yourself on my truck and effectively kill us both. Sheesh.

    That's a mulch and that's beneficial.

    Hose off the truck and continue to the delivery.

    What a mess. Also creates a conundrum for the state. Do you record a lawful accident in which a death occured by someone who is clearly outside of the law?

    Charge the organ donor with impeding interstate commerce and other traffic violations so his family doesn't try to sue the driver.
