A man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in a September fatal crash involving a truck driver.

The trucker was killed trying to avoid hitting the suspect’s stalled car in the middle of Interstate 44 in Eureka, MO, in September.

According to court documents, Matthew P. Snyders, 44, of St. Louis, was charged with involuntary manslaughter on Friday, Dec. 14, in the death of truck driver Joshua Sanders, 34, of Rolla, MO.

Sanders, who drove for Con-Way Truckload of Joplin, MO, was killed around 5 a.m. on Sept. 27 while trying to avoid hitting Snyders’ stalled car, which had hit a guard rail and was stopped in the westbound lane on I-44.

Court documents allege that Snyders’ blood-alcohol content level was “0.18 percent or more” at the time of the fatal crash, which is more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 in Missouri.

 

i wonder if the driver had hit the four wheeler, what would have been the difference?

 

i was thinking that also, but we never know what we would do if we see a human in front of us

a deer or possum or skunk, thats easy to say

but a human is much different, or should bring a much different response

one of my fears is a flipped trailer that you cannot see the underside until you are on top of it, just make a quick prayer to God before you go
