Death of a Batman

[SoddyNole]

I remember the video of him getting pulled over a while back but did not know his story. He seems like a great guy that will be missed, very sad.

Wow, that sucks. He was one of the good guys!

Man, that's mood killer right there. Hate to hear that.

Why wouldn't he pull off the road..........not smart to check your engine in the fast lane.

I had read about this guy a while back and for some reason brought him up to my wife last night. I could hardly believe when I read about it earlier today.

Yeah, even if traffic was such that he couldn't get it off the right hand side of the road when the problem occurred, you can't put yourself in that situation.
I went out to help my wife's friend whose car stalled going up one of the hills on Mahan past Buck Lake. There are curbs now, and nowhere really to pull off the road in that situation. First thing I did was get her to get her damn kids out of the car on the other side of the sidewalk so someone looking at their phone didn't wipe out the whole family while waiting for the tow truck.
Guy's mind was probably on fixing the problem so he didn't disappoint the kids waiting to meet Batman.
Incredibly sad situation.

It would have been ironic if the person who hit him was dressed as the joker..

I drive that part of I-70 all the time. There is virtually no shoulder on the left and the road is usually crowded there (I-70 and I-81 intersect there), especially on a Sunday evening in the summer. Very tragic decision.
