A very sad freak accident

I can only imagine how the trooper must feel. Very sad indeed that such a thing could happen. How traumatizing for the trooper, the person that called the police, as well as the family of the poor individual that was killed. A local station said that the trooper was blinded by the flashing headlights of the car occupied by the person that made the report, who had stood by to await the police. The investigation continues, but it is a tragedy for all involved.

  That indeed sucks for everyone.  I have to wonder why the person waiting wasn't situated in a place where the person lying in the road wouldn't get run over.

I wondered the same thing Ralph, unless the trooper just came over a hill or something and came upon the scene unexpectedly. I am sure that a report of someone laying in the road sparked a quick response. Unfortunately fate dictated that it didn't have the outcome that was expected. I can't imagine the horror of having to live with having run over and killing a fellow human being. That is the sort of thing that recurring nightmares is made of. Those images will never leave the trooper's mind.

Not a good memory to live with. Hopefully they will find he was already gone before he ran over him.
