Default ABF Driver Killed In Accident @ SC Truckstop

Does anybody have any info on the ABF driver who was killed Tuesday night @ the Mr. Waffle Truckstop in Blacksburg, SC?

I came upon the scene a couple of hrs. after the accident, and the body had been removed, but the Highway Patrol was still investigating.

It seems that he had just parked his truck, and was headed inside the truckstop, when he was struck by a pickup truck near the auto-gas pumps.

Does anyone know his home terminal, name, or any particulars about him?

This is a tragic thing to happen, especially at this time of year. Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and co-workers.

You have got to be kidding me. That is aweful. I pray for his family, what a terrible thing to happen. Please let us know any information. I use to stop at that truckstop a few years back.

Thanks for posting this K.K.
They tell us in Kernersville that he died from a heart attack. That he fell in front of the pickup.
It's a terrible thing to happen anytime but magnified even more because of the time of the year.
May God comfort his family and friends.
