re: Trucker pulled out of rig and likely killed. Another Reginald Denny.

Was this road not closed? How did he not know it was shut down?

The road was supposed to be closed at 8pm. It closed early because the protesters blocked it early. The truck was already on the road when they decided to shut it down. He didn't go around any barricades, he was not stopped by law enforcement or warned before coming upon the group, and being that he was driving, probably wasn't in a position to catch the news saying the road closed early.

He was driving at a normal rate of speed for an interstate. The truck comes to a stop and even veers slightly at the end to avoid hitting someone sitting in the road like an idiot. He didn't keep going, he didn't swerve to the shoulder like someone intent to hit protesters would, and he miraculously maneuvered his rig all the way to the end to avoid hitting even a single protester. After all that, he surrendered himself to the mob, something someone with intent to harm would not have done.

This guy was CLEARLY not intending to harm anyone (he could have killed dozens with almost no effort), and anyone who has seen this video and has heard the other facts that says otherwise is a complete piece of shite.
