Man that's rough. Glad his BAC was .00

Driving while old?

Wouldn’t wish what he (and the family of the man killed) is going through on my worst enemy. Very sad.

Terrible incident. I have a friend whose mother hit a young kid, that passed from the injuries, which ran out into the road chasing a ball. She basically couldn't/wouldn't drive for over 5 years. I know that's different being a young child, but I'm sure that it will haunt him for a long time.

That's terrible. I'm glad he wasn't drunk but I haven't seen if he was distracted in any way.

The weather was poor, too. So tragic!

This seems to be just a terrible tragedy. Poor driving conditions and wrong place wrong time for both victims. I feel bad for Boeheim and the victim’s family.

Sad indeed. It’s so dangerous to exit your vehicle on the side of the interstate. I can’t imagine what all those involved are going through today

Yep. Pull over and call a tow truck if you have a flat tire or your car breaks down. I always cringe when I see people standing with their hoods open or even changing tires two feet away from cars going 70+ MPH.

Prayers for the victim's family and Boeheim. Will he coach against Duke on Saturday?

The car was left in the middle of the road. He was avoiding the car from reports.

You have got to be kidding. Did you really make this comment?

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Awful story, can’t imagine what he’s going through after it....

Especially at nearly midnight in bad weather

I had to do that on 2 separate occasions about 2-3 years ago... once at night.

if you are driving around Knoxville on I-40, you'd better be watching for folks changing tires with all of these potholes

You ain't joking. I drove in last night with the rain. Impossible to see the potholes in the rain with standing water everywhere. Hit more in the 10 miles of Knoxville interstate than I did the rest of the way from Atlanta.
