R.I.P. Driver

78-year-old trucker found at rest stop hours after dying outside passenger door of rig

 

It wasn’t a truck stop,it was a rest area. Mississippi’s rest areas are typically under 24/7 round the clock surveillance,you would’ve thought someone would see something prior to that point.

 

It may have been natural causes,possibly a medical emergency.
It’s been very hot over the past week in various parts of the country,so I wouldn’t be surprised if the heat played a role in his death (possible heat stroke/exhaustion,maybe a heart condition exacerbated by the heat).

The 2-3 days I’ve been running between Kansas and Oklahoma temps have been consistently in the high 90s to even the low 120s!!
(in particular near Tulsa and Muskogee).
