Who the hell jogs on a busy highway at 5 am?
Not trying to victim blame but, I am constantly surprised at where people will walk, bike, etc. And without proper lighting and gear so they can be seen.
I almost ran over someone last week walking on that little 6 inch strip of road just past the white line on a dark night, instead of walking a few feet off the road. Completely stupid if you ask me.

A little common sense goes a long way. It may be a “right” to ride a bike or jog on a highway but your right puts you in a very, very dangerous situation whete your safety is totally in others hands and you have no defense.

Just to clarify, I believe this was not on the actual highway but on a spur that’s two lanes and has very little traffic, especially at that time of day. Very sad situation.

apparently he was jogging with a group of people, the rest heard the tires screeching and got out of the way but victim didn't hear due to headphones
