Don't know if this was already posted.

Saw aftermath. Traveling north on I-75, south of Lake City. Top of cab was crushed. Didn't get a good look, it was dark (around 2200) and north traffic moving at a normal speeds. Southbound backed up about 4 miles.

Just a reminder that these giant trucks are still hard to see at night (I'm acutely aware of this from previous experience). Report that he was struck from the rear and flipped by a tractor trailer.

Always a good idea to make sure all lights are working, especially when travelling at night. In addition, have extra lights, blinking if possible, to gain extra attention for these slower moving vehicles. It has been discussed on this site before, just another reminder.

Prayers for his family

Wow, I'd say it would take a heck of a lick to flip a HET.

Was the guy a member here? The report indicated it was a privately owned MV.

One of our members was hit from behind in Florida a couple of years ago while driving a HET.

We lift our hearts in prayer for all those involved in this fatal wreck. We pray for the first responders and all who will be taking follow-up actions.

Has it been determined if the casualty was an SS Member? What username?

Thank you.
John
