Hi, introducing myself. I'm 53, my husband's life was taken by an impatient driver, Sept 10th, 2017. He was 55.
He went to work that morning at 6am. Almost 5 hours later, while he was working near the gas pumps at the truck stop he worked at (for 15 and a half years) He was killed.
Three things happened to make the driver aggrevated. After the third thing, He pulled away from the pump he was at, at high speed. They determined that from the short distance of one set of pumps to the other, he excelerated to 15 miles an hour.
My husband was working near the next set of pumps. he ran right over my husband who was stooped down doing something. There where buckets and cones around him to let people know he was there. Also witnesses say the guy had to sit and wait near where my husband was working for a few minutes before he could get in the gas line.
It took just over a year to charge him. 1 year, and 10 days.
Of course he pleaded not guilty . Now we have to wait till this October for him to go to trial.
