I was watching the morning news WXIX 19, Fox News, Newport, KY
suddenly I am watching a video of the accident on SR 32, Brown County, OH. A woman is dead, child taken to hospital. Truck driver does what is automatic when trying to get out of the way of a vehicle that has pulled out in front of him. No traffic light, just side roads to pull onto SR 32. We do not know what or why it happened, but she pulled out in front of tractor trailer, causing that driver to automatically go into East bound lane, trying not to hit her, so he does not hit her, but jack knives, causing a wreck in eastbound lane. Does the trailer hit the car? We do not know, probably, b/c the driver of that car is killed. We do not know what was on that ladies mind, or if she was running late for job. Whatever, she is killed!
What is done. First a phone call to OHSP, and sheriffs office. It was called in. Who called? not important!
