The guy that was driving the truck did in fact have a heart attack and ran into a telephone pole, an electric pole and then a house. I thought that it was odd the way it happened so yes he did have a heart attack. Sad just so sad he was in his late 20's. Sad

Dh talked to the thrower on his truck and he said that he tried to stop the truck but when he seen the driver he was slumped over the wheel and looked dead already. So there is a good chance he was already dead when his heavy foot hit the gas pedal.

20's and a heart attack? holy cow. That's not common. Was he overweight or potentially doing drugs? Wow, that's so sad. I wonder if he might have lived if not for running in to those 3 things!

Again, so sorry for your loss.

I know he was a little bigger than he should have been but no he wasn't doing drugs or anything like that. He had only been working there for 3 months and he had to go through a back ground check and numerous drug tests. Plus he had to go through a DOT check up and they do that once a year. My dh has to through them himself. They make sure you are in shape and in good health, I don't know what went wrong. :? I also don't know if he would have lived if he didn't hit all those things. But I do know dh was the first on the scene and he sent me a pic before it was ever released. It was really bad!
