well the vehical that drove by was probably in the other lane thats why he wasnt hit by them. as far as seeing a car in the dark on the side of the road yes thats pretty easy, but to see someone laying in the road going 55 mph no becouse your attention is on the vehical. does anyone no if this guy was also drunk as ive seen asked here? what was the coroners report?

It doesn't matter drunk or not drunk...whether it's night or day you still have plenty of time to stop and avoid hitting something or someone laying in the road. That's one of the many uses of headlights on a vehicle you have pretty good vision a vehicle drove by beforehand saw him laying there and had no problem avoiding hitting him. The fact is she was drunk and it's her 3rd OWI! Obviously alcohol was the reason for this. People like that need to be locked away for good. He was a good man, married with kids, he had no death wish. My thoughts and prayers are with this man and his family. RIP Aaron.
