Not enough info in that story and I certainly do not personally know anything about the accident but, sounds kind of like falling asleep at the wheel or something. Hmmm.. Anybody know if the dude is okay yet? Anybody know him or recognize the car (whats left)?

Im thinking maybe driving to fast. He over corrected and lost control.
Thats my guess. Say he is critically injured.
He was it say hit by an suv. And tractor trailer.

I just read the article, he only lives 10 minutes south of me in Palm Bay, but I don't know him, or the car. Im sure someone over this way knows him though.
