This happened last night while I was heading up that way. The road was shut down as the investigation and recovery proceedures were carried out.

I'd like to ask everyone of you to please pack clothes that have reflective parts on them or a lamp or lantern that can easibly seen with you, when you drive. I don't know why this person was out late at night on a unlite highway, but he was and the lack of visability cost him his life.

After decades of driving over the road, I've seen the remnants of many wrecks that I just knew no one survived. I hope against hope that I was wrong in that assumption, but I've seen too many unrecognizable hunks of metal that was surly a vehicle only a short time ago.

If you are driving, please us a hands free device and even then, put your contacts on speed dial. Please don't text or accept any when driving. Don't drive when you are angry, in a hurry or when you are tired. Nothing is worth your life of the lives of others.
