My wife was behind the young man in black car and help aid him. She said he ran a red light and crashed into the semi. The pedestrian hot smothered in diesel fuel walking by when crash occurred. That’s her version.
Running red lights is common. Interesting. Thanks.
My brother was driving the semi. If anyone witnessed the accident your help will be greatly appreciated.
Some comments up Nadine send to have witnessed.
