    Maybe both the cop and the driver were tired.....with all the evidence of a call coming to his attention about trucker weeving in and out of lanes, seems like possibly he came up short on his inspection.....Who Knows.....

    I would lean toward a heart attack more than a normal stroke. He could have had an intracerebral hemmorage stroke(more commonly called a bleeder), these are almost 100 % fatal.

    These health results are very common to the industry. I also do not get the vibe for suicide. Such a person would have triggered a response from a deputy, because they would have been unusually emotional.

    The reason I got the suicide vibe:
    -Sne the deputy found nothing wrong and let him go.
    -Thn probably, the weaving in and out of lanes was intentional.
    -The driver ws trying 2build up the nerve 2smash the truck in2 something.

    Not feeling well could also cause u 2weave.
    I wonder how far the deputy followed the driver 2c if he could
    witness him weaving n and out of lanes 4himself b4 he pulled him ovr.
