Kat-

I could understand if it was a hill JH came upon, but that is a flat stretch of road he was on.

Okay, how about this then? I was a passenger in a vehicle at a stand still waiting to make a left turn. Two lane, flat road, unobstructed view. The truck that hit us was going what the police report said in excess of 70 mph. He had not been drinking. He said he didn't see us until the last minute and that is why he hit primarily my side, he tried to swerve at the last minute. Check out the pictures in my album. If Josh was drinking he has already suffered the utlimate consequence. Why kick a man when he is down?

ANTSMOMIE-I know the exact area that is happened at I drove it for a year straight. It is not like it is a country rode, it is very well lit and your telling me that so many other people were able to avoid this. Y98 has a video showing the accident.

This is just the facts that this can happen to anyone... If he WAS in fact drunk then that probably didn't help but this can happen to anyone at anytime. Hey look i dropped my phone... bam the back of a truck..I think you get what I am saying...

It seems like people are making a bigger deal of it becasue he is a sports figure .. its tragic no matter who he is .. Drunk or not he was too young for his life to end ..

It was just that, an accident. I have been sitting still at a stop light twice and been rearended. No one was drinking. It was just human error. The only good thing is that one else was hurt of killed. I pray for his family.

People put this to bed.

He's dead. can we prevent another person from killing themselves No! can we stop them from killing our love one's NO! work on stuff we can stop. like your kids failing in school, your daughters and sons have kids while still in school. Do the parenting thing! then you can teach your kids that driving drunk is not healthy for themselves and innocent bystanders. That you want grand kids but you don't want to raise them.
there are things you can control! unless your out of control!!!
the above statement is not to include any poster on this blog. I know all of us are without fault.

Be safe

I drive this road every day and get off the Bole Exit and came up upon the accident prior to Josh Hancock with the tow truck there. As I was coming up it appeard that the tow truck was on the left hand shoulder but at that point there is no shoulder, he was in the fast lane and I myself had slam on my breaks to get over, and I wasn't drinking I was going to work. If he was drunk or sober can we at least let the man get the justice he deserves. I thought in this Country we were "Innocent Until Proven Guilty"

I said this on another blog and I'll say it again:

After reading some of these comments, I am appauled at how many people feel that driving drunk is just a normal 'human' thing to do. I bet you'd have totally different views if someone in your family was killed by a drunk driver. How many parents say, "Oh, he was just human" when referring to the drunk driver that killed their child? I don't believe I've EVER heard those words uttered before in my LIFE!

Oh, and for the person that said they dropped their phone and hit the back of a truck:

One - you shouldn't be on your cell phone while driving in the first place

Two - I've had to suddenly hit my brakes before and when my purse goes flying onto the floor - its contents spilling out all over - I WAIT until I get to my destination before I attempt to clean the mess. It's not going hurt anything if it sits on the floor for awhile. Better than slamming into something.

I was thinking while watching the video last night that he looked like he was trying to pass another car on the left side rather then just slowing down and falling in behind it.

Dead id dead. The details dont really matter.
Drunk, sober or just a crappy driver.
At least he didnt kill anyone else.
