[QUOTE="FJRMGM, post: 49763, member: 164"] Scott - did you know him? This happened in front of the plant where I work. A contract worker at this site in a truck, who had been here for several months and was familiar with the traffic pattern due to plant turnaround activity, was following a woman in a car and when she slowed to make a right turn into the plant, he went around her on the left, in a double yellow line (actually quad yellow) no-passing zone where the road widened and split due to an oncoming left-turn lane from the other direction. Officer was on the road in the center laying down flares and when the truck pulled around to the left to pass, there he was and hit him about 60 mph. I was delayed for over an our by stopped traffic. Truck driver was clearly in the wrong and killed someone because of it. All so he could get 1/4 mile down the road and turn into plant a little sooner. Front of the truck had one of those cattle-guard bumpers and it really bent it up. Hit him hard. Should have never happened. DPS was here investigating from 0530 until 1330 hours that day. [/QUOTE]
