I hope he wasn’t drinking, I just went through something like that on the road to Sadona. A woman kept nodding off but I guess she thought she could make it to her home. She crossed the line into a truck so she didn’t make it. I guess that’s what made me think of falling asleep because the witnesses said she had been swerving earlier. I don’t know why she thought it would take too much time to pull over for a quick nap
Drove up to Paradise from Los Angeles. It’s roughly 125 miles NW of Sacramento.
I hadn’t been driving long, and I couldn’t shake being sleepy, so I did just that. I pulled over and sleep for a couple of hours.
Woke up and had no problem after that.
It’s what you have to do.
I always watch oncoming traffic in case evasive measures are called for.
