ReplyDeletePLEASE joggers do not run after dark. You cannot be seen!
ReplyDeletePLEASE commenters don't comment till all the facts are out. This is a tragedy now is not the time to criticize
DeleteFeel free to look up drivers background. So very sad! Makes me sick to my stomach.
ReplyDeleteDriver's background is a non-issue. Someone jogging on a dark road in dark clothes on a country road has high odds of being struck. I almost hit someone under similar circumstances last week.
ReplyDeleteHey 11:10 please see 10:12 comment
ReplyDeleteWow, way to blame the victim.
ReplyDeleteHey 9:15 and 11:10, Rob was on the other side of the road, the driver went across the line to the other side of the road to strike him. Hardly a vision issue...
