Trucker stopped by deputy before fatal crash

Everyone has driven tired, but what's the deal with this. After a cop pulls you over I would, 1. wake up just because of the adrenaline rush, at least long enough to not to crash 5 minutes later, or 2. Realize how tired I am and take a nap or something. Sounds like this driver didn't have any common sense at all.

 

Suicide perhaps

 

Might have been a stroke.

 

Possibly a diabetic reaction also,some folks never see a doctor and have it and not ever know it.

 

If we're gonna guess, I'm putting my money on the last three posts. Most likely a logical reason for the crash, especially after being pulled by law enforcement 5 minutes earlier.

 

Diabetic reaction/comma: There is no way the officer should not have known if the person was having one of these. When you have a diabetic sugar issue, it's like you are drunk. You slur and are beligerent. Trust me, my mom is one and she gets made if I laugh at her for what she is saying and I am not laughing at her I am laughing with her. So unless it was bad on the officer, I doubt it was anything to do with sugar.

Stroke: Possibly, I don't know much about strokes. Would the driver not have acted funny to the officer??? I would think so, then again maybe he hid the symptoms thinking he is ok and went on thinking it was just mind over matter?


Suicide: Would be a bigger possibility.

What it could have been is he is tired and the rush of the cop got him straight for a minute and he thought ok I am really fine no need to stop and crashed cause he was tired. If I got pulled over by a cop and I was drunk and the officer didn't notice, I would think hey I am all ok so I will keep cruising no problem (not really me though, but have driven drunk, shhh). So maybe that's what happened. I do know his qualcom will tell all if he has one! Unfortunately
Just my thoughts there

 

All good points LogsRus, especially about the Diabetic reaction. In fact, diabetes is often used as a defense in criminal DUI prosecutions. Though I can't support why, I don't get a "suicide" vibe on this one.

 

I don't either! I honestly feel the driver was really tired and he straightened up and lost it! Being fatigue is liking being drunk, that's why I said what I said! It stinks but I hear it is true, actually I have been there. I was to tired, but I was smart enough to realize someone else's life was in danger and asked them to drive. Had I been alone?????? I may not be here today

 

Fatigue is likely - but I'm thinkin - even if the driver got a rush there would have been physical signs of his extreme fatigue like unilateral pupil dilation, red eyes, giddiness, irritability or a pale face that the deputy would have picked up on. The artic said "The deputy felt that everything was in order"


Maybe the road needs work. He hit a pothole and it caused a front tire blowout. Lost control.
Well, until we know what,
I’m marking that area as !DANGER! in my Randy McNally .
