Gee of all the times the semi could have swerved and it just had to be that moment. This is sad. My heart goes out to this man and his family.

I thought truck drivers are considered professional drivers. This should not have happened. Hopefully people will take note that if they break down on a road that they should stay at least thirty feet or so away from the shoulder of the road while waiting for help. It was a tragedy indeed.
