I would like to publicly announce that I, Matthew Fluman, DID in fact stop at that stop sign. No matter who's fault the accident was, my fiancee will never return to this earth. I would also like to announce that the man driving the Ford F250 was speeding at a minimum of 75 MPH on a 40 MPH street through an intersection partially hidden by foliage, did not attempt to brake (no skid-marks) and continued on to hit and move a 10k pound dump-truck 3.5 feet and refused treatment. No offense, but the press needs to research before they print.
