What I found odd is, the guy who was walking to his damaged truck in the dark, had hit a hay bale in a ditch, damaging his truck. If he couldn’t stay out of driving in a ditch, is it possible that he wasn’t paying much attention as he walked along a dark, lonely road?
Was there an Indian reservation nearby?
We have quite of few of these type accidents around in Wapato and Toppenish nearby the Yakama Nation. Drunks walking along the freeway and on back country roads.
