L3thal Veteran Posted August 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 8, 2004 I can only presume he was in a stop and crossed thinking no one was coming.

Ayepecks Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 That's less than 15 miles or so from where I live... graduation for my school happens there and a lot of people from my area end up going there for college. R.I.P. (FYI: There was no alcohol or anything like that, apparently he either just wasn't thinking or lost control or something... possibly fell asleep, but it's unlikely.)
