“He must have either fallen asleep or passed out, he was driving down from BT and just drove head-on into the truck in front of me. The poor guy in the truck tried to avoid him but it happened so quickly. I called 911 but the police/ambulance took so long to come.”
Another eyewitness noted that the truck was carrying a load of plywood and it appeared that the “wood went into the rear windscreen”. They also shared what they witnessed:
“This guy was on the left side of the road. Another guy was across the street. This guy got up and hobbled across us in great pain to get to the other injured man. There was a third man trapped in the white car. Lots of people were pulled off to help.”
