Such a sad story. Possibly being in this type of situation scares me to the point that I make sure I am driving a reliable, properly cared for vehicle with good tires.

what a senseless loss for his loved ones hope they file a wrongful death suit against this idiot.

Got to be careful when stepping out into traffic on the shoulder of a freeway with high speed traffic so close to the roadside.

Did you consider that maybe he should have checked before opening his door? Don't blame the truck driver until you have all the facs

More fool Truck Drivers killing people.Truckers go to damn fast and drive crazy. Drivers don't ever get out of your g--d-- car on the freeway. If your junker breaks down. Pull to the shoulder and stay there.Try to drive the piece of c--- off the freeway. Stupid a-- truckers and other drunks will kill you whenever they want and they won't even get a ticket. Real nice. How many more bodies? What a bunch of bullcrap. Freeways? Undertaker Agents.

especially if you step in front of the truck, like this guy did.

Hey PEA BRAIN, what makes you think he stepped in front of the truck? Did it ever occur to you that the truck driver might have been at fault? Did it ever occur to you that the truck driver may have accidentally VEERED just a little too far to the right and plowed into this INNOCENT man? No, your defective brain ASSUMED that this man just stepped in front of a big rig on the freeway. So, in other words, this man committed suicide right?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, you're an idiot.

First and foremost, I'm sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Please understand that there are some inconsiderate and insensitive bastards on Topix and they get their rocks off by ruffling people's feathers. It makes them feel big or important. In reality, all it does is make them look like jackazzes. Don't pay them any attention.
